Flora, thank you, you nailed it. I was given this as a tiny rooted cutting quite a few years ago, slow growing is right. So nice to finally be able to put a name to it. Annette

Thanks, Carol23. The plant is in a bed that contains 50-60 mature Tiger Lilies. This spring there were so many babies I pulled 30 or so. None of the ones I pulled look like this plant - leaves are lancet, as are those of the mystery plant, but are much more slendar and are two on opposite sides of central stem, even when smaller in stature than my unknown guest. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

That is it!! Thank you so much. I tell you, this internet is the very best!! Any reason I shouldn't plant it? I was told, by the nursery professional who though it was Silene, that it is considered a weed by some. I do remember having a different soapwort in my garden which popped up a little but not a problem. This little cutie was in a flower arrangement where I work for probably a week! Real staying power I'd say. Again thank you so much. Ginny

From what i hear neem oil is not good for succulents, its probally that, otherwise, it looks like a healthy and happy plant
