If it is Sedum it is flowering now-- I will take a photograph close up toorrow of both leaf and flower-- I somehow dont think it is Sedum --  --but--if I cant remember the name-- it must be. |

See if you can Google this Biggs and see if you recognise it Rhadiola heterodonta
syn.Sedum heterodontum/ Stems bear toothed blue green leaves.
That is the description in my R.H.S. Encyclopedia.

Rhodiola flower in later summer too. Looks more like Sedum rupestre to me but again that flowers in July. Very mixed up plant if it is a sedum or Rhodiola or whatever they have renamed most Sedums to these days.
