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 serpentinicola... 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. ;D ;Dhttp://nargs.org/smf/index.php?topic=80.msg422#msg422http://npsoregon.org/photos/v/2006gallery/2006_05/ZD0918npso.jpg.htmlhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/kmphillips/5833438131/
... but having said that, Silene serpentinicola is rhizomatous, apparently, so a very good question:http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=250060890
I did a search on the main SRGC forum site to see if anyone had mentioned growing it, and found nothing.

Indeed S. serpentinicola it is Lori. :). Thanks for correcting my mistake, :-[
