Hi Lredy,
Just be careful what plants you buy. Some small plants are considered invasive because you can't control how fast or where they will grow. Ask at a local nursery. They are your best resource because they know the plants that grow well in your area without being invasive.
Good luck!
creeping phlox are colorful and short for planting between flat rocks on a path. We considered them for our walk, but instead we chose irish moss that is a green perennial. Our choice was purely for the color green. There are probably many more choices out there. Good luck finding the one that suits your plans and dreams!
Definitely need to know what zone you live in. And info like what kind of sun/ watering it would receive in order to give you proper info.
btw. A state can have multiple zones. So best to look yours up and know it Whenever shopping for plants or seeds

Creeping thyme and sedum comes to mind. Easy care, drought tolerent and can take a beating.
creeping phlox, thyme, or irish moss all work well, depending on the color and texture you want. We went with irish moss for the lush green look
