Read about Silene acaulis in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Silene acaulis, Linn. Cushion Pink. Moss Campion. Fig. 3619. Moss-like tufted perennial, about 2 in. high, glabrous: sts. almost lacking: lvs. clustered at the end of the much-branched rootstock, green, short, linear-subulate: peduncles 1-fld.: fls. reddish purple, 1/2 in. across; calyx campanulate, 10-nerved, glabrous; petals slightly notched, obovate, with a small scale at the base: caps. long-cylindrical or oval. May-Aug. Eu. L.B.C. 6:568. Gn. 75, p. 285; 76, p. 614. B.B. (ed. 2) 2:63.—According to Niven, this species is readily increased by division or by seeds, which it produces sparingly. The fls. have a tendency to become dioecious. Var. alba, Hort., forms dense cushions and has snow-white fls. somewhat smaller than the type. Var. aurea, Hort., has golden foliage and bright rose fls. Var. exscapa, Koch (S. exscapa, All.), has dense bright green cushions and paler pink (according to the trade sometimes white) fls. Var. grandiflora, Hort., forms moss-like tufts with crimson fls. June, July. Var. plena, Hort. (S. acaulis var. flore-pleno, Hort.), has dense cushions of light green foliage and double bright rose fls. CH
