Advice on ground cover between pavers.

I've got a small sitting area that I just finished with 6x9 pavers.
Since I prefer a natural look I left 1/2 of space between each on the
sand bed. In this space I'd spread screened (as in via window screen)
dirt which I watered to compact.
Now, I need advice on something to plant between the pavers.
I'm zone 6b, south western Kentucky.
The area is shaded however I don't think it's enough to place the wild
moss varieties in that grow on the property.
On the moss note, can I propagate the moss at this time of year?
(buttermilk/moss/blender method) or should I wait? There are some on
the property that get the same lighting so they may work.
On any others. Do you all have any suggestions on something that will
spread along the "dirt grout" and not engulf the pavers?
Thanks for any advice you can give. I've already got a patch of
creeping thyme near by and a small bit of something else I forget the
name of (looks succulent, gets small star yellow flowers, spreads like
mad) near by but I don't want it on the pavers as it will cover them bad.
I always liked Corsican mint. Not real sure of it's zone restrictions
though.

Wife loves this one. Will have to check it out and see if I can do it
here, thanks!
