I recommend Nierembergia rivularis. Hose out some cracks, then
drop short lengths of the root into each one and wait. Ideal
conditions for this plant that is distinctly unhappy in the open
garden.

I saw a nice herb in my local garden centre that is ideal for paving
cracks. Its called Corsican Mint and smells nice when trodden on.

Is that also called Mentha?
If so, it will spread everywhere and it is so tiny it is difficult to
weed out - a bit like an aromatic MYOB

Maybe that is a more robust variety - I had some Corsican mint, but it was
distinctly unhappy in my sunny well-drained paving. I think it would have
preferred somewhere damper, and eventually it vanished away.

I once had success with a dwarf camomile. Very tough. Tim.
