Ideas for planting in bricks...

I have a few LBC bricks lying around (the ones with the V-shaped groove in them) and was wondering whether there was anything that could be planted in them, considering they be relatively shallow. I was thinking mosses, or something normally used as ground cover, and shade-loving, that would cope with the winter. I was thinking Ivy, Periwinkle, etc. possily? Not sure how happy they'd be happy with such shallow planting, however.

Any thoughts, or alternative ideas?

    Sedums, Sempervivums? But they would need some sun. I have some growing happily in an old curved roof tile.

    Ii depends on what sort of plant you were looking for but I recently came across Soleirolia soleirolii, it’s barely needs any soil and is a spreader. Will happily grow in shade or sun ( can take over) - but Good for covering things - I’m attempting to make a feature and covering it with this,as it covers like a mat and picks out the contours of shapes/landscapes etc. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
