Need recommendations for ground cover.

[Unforgettablefire]

Hi all.
I have some ugly crazy paving at the side of my house, it's just a small strip/path and I'm looking for some ground cover that is non invasive (the path is bordering my neighbours garden)
I'm north facing, shaded about 70% of the day and it's exposed (I live on the coast) so in addition to it being evergreen it needs to be very hardy.
It's too big of an area for plants so I'm thinking of low ground cover, anyone got any suggestions please for something that would spread if I took a couple of the paving pieces out?

Lemon thyme. My once tiny little plant has filled an area. It smells gorgeous as you brush past, it and the bees love the flowers.

Sweet woodruff. Great in shade and can be evergreen in mild climates with not too many heavy frosts. Spreads brilliantly and I love the look and mild scent of it.

Or lamium maculatum, similar characteristics, not scented.

Are you going to be walking on it?

Likes sunshine and well drained soil

I'm looking at creeping phlox and aubretia for a similar situation. Also geraniums.

Sweet woodruff, Lamium maculatum, Soleirollia soleirollii. One of them Don’t try to mix them.

Thanks all I'm listing all the suggestions. @CatherinedeBourgh it wouldn't be walked on but might be stepped on occasionally (once a week when moving the bin) I can be super careful though and avoid it.

One of the coloured fleabanes like erigeron glaucus - they are a bit less prolific than the white. Glaucus is the beach aster so should work well by the coast. Its a very pretty purple.

Vinca minor? Not major, that's invasive, but the minor, particularly the variegated, is not too bad.

Irish moss

If it were me I would grow wild/alpine strawberries- they always grow well in the shade here (coastal town, south east) I like as many of our plants as possible to be edible!

Me too! Practically everything I grow I can eat and I also have some alpine strawberries in the back garden I never thought of those! Do you think they’d be ok for an exposed area?

Ajuga repens (bugle) garden varieties of a native plant. I suspect it could be a bit of a thug if not contained. Flowers are great for bees.
