• Kenilworth ivy (Cymbalaria muralis) is a shade grower that is hardy in Zones 5-9. In spring and summer it blooms with lilac flowers with yellow centers.
  
• Labrador violet (Viola labradorica) has pale purple flowers in spring and lovely kidney shaped leaves.
  
• Creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a fragrant addition that cascades beautifully over walls. It grows well in full sun and has pale pink to white flowers in the spring.

To plant, put potting soil in the space between the stones. Mold the root mass to flatten it so that it fits into the planting space. Insert the root mass between the stones and press the plant into place. The sandwort needs extra moisture, so wrap the root mass in a layer of wet moss before planting.
