    Can't see it very clearly - picture won't enlarge, but if it's flowering now, from the colour and the way it's growing I think it's an aubretia

    Phlox subulata/douglasii  flower now too. Close up of the flowers etc. would help no end.

    I agree with Dovefromabove that it is an Aubretia.  The flowers only have 4 petals like the ones in the picture.  Phlox has 5.

    You're all so good. I thought aubretia but would never have thought about the number of petals. Impressive.

    Here is a better photo so everyone should be able to zoom in.
