  The flower stem looks like Francoa but not sure about the leaves.

  I thought Francoa at first too, but the seed stems at the back look wrong as well as the leaves.

  Persicaria affinis by the looks of it. A really nice short, mat forming, front of the border plant.

  I was going to say maybe a Dropmore?  I have a blue version of Dropmore, but I know a deep pink version exists.
