This stitchwort is more delicate than it's cousin the Greater Stitchwort, having narrower petals but similar grass-like leaves. It flowers in summer though, and doesn't even start to show until well after S. holostea has all but finished so there is little chance of confusion. It tends to be more of a flat, damp grassland plant than covering sloping banks like S. holostea.
