You would need some soil in there, but perhaps something like an ivy that would cascade down the stones from higher up the wall.
That wall is stunning. Like an Irish dry stack. I would do low plants in the bed or Lamium maculatum (sweet nancy) or some ground cover that stays low and is green year-round. Plant that so it covers the ground along the base.
succulents would do well there, there is a large variety of them from which to choose too. Nice wall!
It definitely depends on what kind of climate you live in. Love the wall if that is yours! Ground cover would probably work best, and you cam get varying shades and some even flower.

You yard and bed is beautiful already. Definitely add pop of color. Research Wave Petunias, Wave is the brand and I won't go back to regular store bought for these guys! They have a TON of colors to choose from as well as different growing groups.
creeping phlox, blooms in spring, shades of white, pink, and purple. Or creeping thyme, which puts out small purple flowers. Both will take over, so you would have to cut back once in a while. Both are perennials.
In the UK I plant Aubretia, Thyme, Lavendar and a range of alpine. Plus yellow allysum, sage and a variety of small daisies and dian thus.
Stonecrop, the low profile creeping kind.
Succulents,Thyme and Ivy, would be nice.
you can download an app that can identify it. I hope this helps!
Hi Jean, hope this helps you out.

Do NOT plant anything invasive like Ivy. I have been dealing with this for over 20 years thanks to neightbors who planted the stuff and it is even growing up trees. Very hard to kill. Do you research first.
Also depends on what zone you live in.
Succulents would be pretty.
