    That looks close Toni, but that's not it.
    Mine has never grown higher than a few inches tall. I think it's an annual too, as the plants die off after blooming and it re-seeds the following year.

    Here is an annual dwarf Silene
    Not sure the flowers are right tho and can't really see the leaves.
