That's it! Ericoides! That was the name on the hand written label that came with the plant, and I've since lost. Now I can find out when it flowers. Yay!
Aster ericoides, which I think may now be called something else. It will flower soon, mine aren't out yet.Lots of different cultivars in various pinky whitey mauvey shades. Nice plant
Thanks Nutlet, you are a star. My one is called 'Erlkonig' (apparently will have pale mauve flowers). I bought an aster called 'Wunder von Stafa' which is just super, and thought the Germans must have something good going on with asters, so bought another one with a German name.
My Ericoides 'Erlkonig' finally flowered. Can you see the pink Lupin poking his head up at the back? I have tried telling it that we in autumn, but with beautiful sunshine and a nice warm 23C he doesn't believe me.

Just looked that Aster up; the Prostratus version is really stunning.

"Wunder von Stäfa" comes from Switzerland, not Germany
! Stäfa is a suburb of Zürich on the lake, where there is a plant research and breeding centre.
Oops! Thanks Sue.
