Hi,
The photo posted isn't a double-flowered Saponaria officinalis (or even Saponaria officinalis).
For comparison, these photos show the flower characteristics of Saponaria officinalis:

It was wracking my brain over what it actually was, and finally went to the site the photo came from.... they call it Saponaria vaccaria. (Looks like either they moved the photo or it was posted to the wrong species here.)
The current name is Saponaria hispanica and the photo shows a white form.
Some info (note the ribbed calyx):

Could you please ask to have it moved to the correct species?
Thanks,
Lori
