This appears to be Snake Herb, Dyschoriste linearis. It's a perennial, spreading native ground cover with lavendar flowers, attached close to the plant stem. Flowers from mid-spring to mid-summer. Prefers fairly dry, sandy, rocky or calcareous soils. I've even seen it in lawns on rare occasions.
I just found another one, called Dyschoriste decumbens, at a nursery. Apparently, it's more of a low, sprawling plant.
