Default Planting in Gabions

I am thinking of using Gabions to retain a 12 ft bank approx 8o ft in

planting would be appreciated. I would hope that the Gabions would be
a better option then a brick wall and after a couple of year will be
covered by plants of one sort or another.

We thought of this quite seriously to control a steep bank (but later
went another route). I've seen them planted up with ivies of various
sorts to quite good effect.
