Can anyone advise please if this species, when grown under 'garden' conditions, becomes somewhat 'weedy' and invasive?
[Moderator note:
Longma, I edited the species name from
Silene serpenticola
to
Silene serpent
in
icola
... if that's incorrect, please let me know. - Lori]

I have absolutely no first hand knowledge of this species...
but I have a sneaking suspicion most people would be lucky to keep it alive.

... but having said that,
Silene serpentinicola
is rhizomatous, apparently, so a very good question:

I did a search on the main SRGC forum site to see if anyone had mentioned growing it, and found nothing.
