Default what to plant in an old shallow sink?

I have an old porcelain laboratory sink out side my front door with
internal dimensions of 32"x11" x 6" deep. The situation is rather
exposed and thus dries quickly. I'd be grateful for some suggestions as
to what to plant in it as everything I've tried so far has died of
drought when we've gone away for our summer holiday.

Alpines, houseleeks etc. They're small, they're cheap, they're not much
work. Gardening doesn't get much better than that :-))

Planted in a fairly gritty/sandy type soil (there's probably a special
alpine mix available, and covered with whatever stone/slate/pebble covering
you personally find visually attractive.
