A bit of a hooray moment, this is Silene hookeri. There are many imposters going around, especially in seed exchanges, but this is the true plant. Sowed this year I had about 6 plants in flower, all slightly different, this one is the darkest. Hopefully I will have some seed to keep these going as they really are lovely, about 2 inches and sprawling less than the rather poor small flowered forms I was able to but from nurseries.
