Hi, does anyone know of any plants that I can plant between paving slabs on my patio, something low growing, can cope with being walked on a bit, the patio is full sun most of the day so would get very hot.
Thanks

How wide are the gaps between slabs?

And where are you? That is, what is your climate?
Creeping thyme or moss.

How is moss going to grow in mostly full sun where it gets very hot?

From my experience with my pavers, quite nicely, actually.

Take a clump of healthy moss and crumble it into your blender. Add 2 cups of buttermilk and 2 cups of water Blend at the lowest speed until it is completely mixed and the consistency of a thin milk shake. (add water if necessary) Paint the mixture onto rocks, pots or statuary, or simply pour it on the ground wherever you'd like your moss to grow!
Mea culpa. You are right about the moss. Any other suggestions?

And where are you? Western Europe, northeastern Australia, southern California?

I have some growing between sections of my driveway in full sun the entire day. Don't know what variety, though. Very low and bright green.

My response here is completely OT, but your name reminds me of a story of a friend who was a clerk in the Army.
They started getting a lot of paperwork that was stamped: UNA
Now, what did that mean? Use No Abbreviations!
I imagine your name has a different origin :-)

and?
