I feel as if I should know what this flower is. I've certainly had it in the garden before and I thought I had an ID for it but can't find one in my garden files.

It reminds me of candytuft but the groups of tiny branching flowers are less in number and less umbelliferous. I have a few coming out in the back garden where I've sown a lot of wildflower seeds. The colours range from pink to lilac/mauve.

    Thanks a lot! As I said I thought it might be candytuft but as fidgetbones said it hasn't really got going yet.
