So I just scored some slate stones at an estate sale that I intend to use for a picnic area by my barbecue. Any good native recommendations for gap fillers similar to creeping Thyme? I’m in Long Island with Sandy soil. We’re putting a table and benches in the spot. It’s otherwise sunny. Photo is similar size slate that we got

Also Long Island/7A on the East End. We use native red creeping thyme between the slate on one of our patios and it’s beautiful! Grows well in the sandy loam. We also use Irish moss (not native, but not invasive either), and a couple of dwarf yarrows with tiny white puff flowers that I don’t know the name of but are widely available at the native garden centers!
Pussytoes are cool, any of the bluets would do good too. Native sedums could do nice as well.
