If it were tidier in growth habit...like a wee boxwood hedge, I'd guess 
greek windowbox. If it's really sprawling, it might be basil thyme 
(neither a thyme nor a basil; I can't remember its proper thame...acinos 
alpinus or something somwhat similar.) But basil thyme is a perennial, not 
an annual. Does have a bail scent, but not particularly strong.
