Planting between flagstones? #36873 November 4th, 2005 at 02:09 PM

I have sand in there, but it doesn't stay in and makes a big mess, so I'd like to put a little dirt in and plant something, but have no idea what to plant. I heard somewhere maybe Scottish moss, but don't know where to get that, or how much it spreads? It's in a pretty shady area, and in SoCal, so no water to speak of, except where the sprinkler heads overshoot the yard. Any suggestions?
