Silene gazulensis is a small, cushion-forming perennial from the limestone and rocky ground of Cádiz, Spain, rarely over 10 cm tall, with white flowers. It is a rare, threatened wild species rather than a common garden plant, so it suits a rock garden or gritty alpine-style bed in a dry, sunny spot.
Silene gazulensis is a species of plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is endemic to Cádiz, Spain. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss. This rare cushion-forming plant produces delicate white flowers that bloom among the limestone rocks of southern Spain. Known locally as the Gazules campion, it forms small mounded clusters rarely exceeding 10 cm in height, with its woolly, spoon-shaped leaves arranged in rosettes that help it survive in its harsh rocky habitat.
