Phlox-there are ground cover types and tall border kinds: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=phlox&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8
Plumbago-they have blue flowers that resemble pinwheels too: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0S020xX7QRIyIcAQKqJzbkF?p=plumbago&fr=yfp-t-501&ei=utf-8&js=1&x=wrt
Lithodora diffusa-ground cover with brilliant blue flowers: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0S0204Q7gRIpn0BnG6JzbkF?p=lithodora&fr=yfp-t-501-s&ei=utf-8&js=1&x=wrt
Vinca-there are annual and perennial varieties but all have similar flowers: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0oGkkCW7gRI.9UAP.VXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&p=vinca&fr2=tab-web&fr=yfp-t-501-s
I found this on a site: "Many of the plants are labeled and there are handouts for a self-guided tour. For more information, call 1-800-543-2961 or 1-704-255-1700 or visit their web site at http://www.biltmore.com." So, if we really can’t figure it out, perhaps you can call or email.
Hope this helps. At least we can narrow it down if it isn’t one of these. Do you remember if it was was a sun/shade plant or ground cover?
EDIT: Okay, I found this link with what’s blooming now (http://www.biltmore.com/visit/gardens/bloomreport.asp) and I’ll see if any of these may be it.
