Smooth leaf douglasia - Dwarf primrose

I need help with this one! I figured it would be simple to id - national park, kind of distinctive, but noooo I can't find anything quite like it. It looks a bit like rock spirea but has totally different flowers, it looks a bit like hen and chicks, but has a different growth pattern… The flowers that are budding on this plant out grow right from the center of the rosettes and are bright magenta.
