I've tried putting sod down,but it isn't working,just going to lay flagstones,about 1-2 inches apart.Want something to grow between ,to fill in and look good,there is a big tree over most of it, and it does get dappled shade,and mostly evening sun.

A lot of times, people will let "moss" grow between the flag stone, for a beautiful effect.
And, the added benefiet is, that it will grow under the tree, as it doesnt need a lot of Sun!
I would scout out places like rocks in the forest, and see if you can scrape some moss off of them, and put them down in the cracks of your flagstone. They will multiply if you keep them damp for awhile...
I wish you well..

Creeping thyme. It spreads in between the flagstone and looks great. In spring they have little purple flowers and thyme is a perennial so it keeps coming back and just keeps on spreading. You will have filled your spaces in between flagstone in no time. Also, it's pretty tolerate to traffic

First of all lady loose the attitude. I don't know how old you are but coming to people with an attitude is very inconsiderate. Obviously we would love to have your precious flagstone be removed. Maybe when your so busy with that attitude you can remember the Indians and there trail of tears but, I know I know, that is not your problem.

Creeping thyme is great. It grows to just an inch tall and is fairly foot-traffic hardy. There, however, are numerous varieties. My personal favorite is Pink Chintz. It gets covered with beautiful little pink flowers. I'm growing an entire lawn of it! It's very cool!

Have you tried Irish moss? You might have to amend the soil with some peat moss to help retain moisture.I don't know which zone you live in, but I would suggest that you contact your local nursery or the local county extension service's gardeners service.

You can buy specila plants for the cracks in concrete and when you step on them they give off a wonderful scent, sorry I don't have the name of them but a nursery should know the name. Hope this helps.

Try portulaca...likes a lot of sun, does well in hot climates and blooms with multicolored flowers. It runs in the spaces between things.
