This is the Sedum confusum in my garden today,one lot at the base of an arch,another patch growing under Rosemary (how many plants can do that!).The 3rd photo shows some cuttings I put in a pot back in February and how it looks today.I stick cuttings in at any time of the year and it just roots with no problems. I have messaged you if you would like some cuttings.

I use Sedum confusum at the front of borders and all over the garden. It has flowers earlier in the year but has lovely bright green foliage all year. It grows quickly but is not invasive,extremely hardy,drought resistant,seems to grow under shrubs where nothing else will. Lovely in pots as well.You can lightly prune or use shears.I can't praise it highly enough and wouldn't be without it in my garden!! In fact I have just sent a whole boxful to my sister who wanted it to edge some huge beds she is doing in a garden for someone!

That looks perfect! I can't seem to find this anywhere to buy (online at least) could you possibly suggest a similar type of sedum which will perform the same? (green foliage year round)
I've got a little creeping thyme Jekka that behaves well and only gets to about 3" It's in full flower now, but has shiny evergreen leaves throughout the year

It's not late-flowering (mine is just going over) but you might like Sicilian chamomile, Anthemis punctata. It's evergreen and the foliage is pretty, so if you dead-head it, it will still look good. It spreads but doesn't root, nor IME does it self-seed. It is very easy to propagate from cuttings, just remove the flowers and lower leaves, poke it in a pot of compost and in a few weeks it's rooted. Send me your address in a PM if you'd like some cuttings. I posted a photo of it a few weeks ago in "Reasons to be cheerful".
I have recently planted lots of a low, well-behaved, mound-forming Euphorbia Epithymoides ‘Bonfire’ at the front of a border. It started off off green with bright yellow flowers in spring, now the leaves are taking on a burgundy shade and it will turn a fiery orange/red in winter. Mine are only small plants at the moment, but my plan is they will link up to form a wavy ribbon of colour. Here is a screen shot of it at different stages:
