My old man put this in under some conifers many moons ago and it's cover the ground really well. Mother Lard asked me what it was yesterday but I have absolutely no clue but I know you lot will know.
Flowers are a pinker than the look there it's very low growing.
-
Could be an Eringeron glaucus.

Agree it's an Erigeron, they come in pinks mauves and blues, as well as white :)
-
It does seem a pretty good match, although these are at most 4" high rather than 10-12" :unsure:
Mother Lard thought the name sounded like "chrysanthemum" but start with an "M"
-
Wonder if she was thinking 'mesembryanthemum' (easy for me to say! :lol:)
-
She probably was :lol: and having a google its pretty close but these aren't annuals.
I do wonder if the old man "borrowed" a cutting from someone's garden and mis-identified it :wub:

He might have, or been given the wrong name of course. I have seen Erigeron that is short growing along garden walls sometimes, so it may not always get to a foot high.

If it's under trees it won't be getting as much water and nutrients and would be smaller.
