Plant ID please..

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.

Agree it's an Erigeron, they come in pinks mauves and blues, as well as white 

Wonder if she was thinking 'mesembryanthemum' (easy for me to say!  )

She probably was    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 

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.
