That’s a very narrow strip and it’s literally an nth away from grass. You might be better off letting the grass fill it in. Many of the other suggestions sound fine, but wont be in the long run.

A big concern about placing plants in a driveway like that might be that any type of plant would possibly risk tearing it up over time. In my years of experience, that is probably what you want to be careful about with your brick driveway - though I don't have any idea if that's a real concern, since I don't know what it looks like and how widely the bricks are placed and things like that. Still, I would really hesitate to put any kind of plants among the bricks without considering that possibility. That particular concern may be the reason friends and neighbors remove all weeds. I myself often remove all weeds for that reason.
That said, I've seen beautiful paths constructed with low lying ground covers like Dichondra - Silver Ponyfoot, for example - and they look stunning. It might be what you're looking for, assuming you do end up trying something.
Best of luck with it.

I love the effect of self-seeders growing in the cracks of paving. However, you might struggle with getting things established between interlocked bricks (do you mean block paving?) if the gaps are very narrow. Just try it and see what works. I picked out some (!) of the mortar from my paving cracks, trickled the seeds in and then overswept with fine topsoil. Seeds to consider are Erigeron karvinskianus (aka Mexican daisy - excellent!), Verbena bonariensis, Thymus longicaulis (or any available thyme), Tanacetum parthenium, Nigella damascena, Acaena inermis 'Purpurea', ox-eye daisy, Sedum acre, forget-me-nots, Welsh poppy, California poppy. And many more. Avoid red valerian as the roots can be damaging.
If you get the chance visit Beth Chatto's garden near Colchester to see her famous gravel garden (lots of self-seeders there, though many will be too big for your situation). If you can't do that, take her look at her book on gravel gardening. Christopher Lloyd was also a big of self-seeders so you might want to take a look at his books as well, or visit his wonderful garden, Great Dixter, in East Sussex.

These were all issues I faced at a seaside property in Washington. My plan needed to be low profile so the plants could better withstand the abuse of a windy, shoreline location, too.

May 30, 2023 - Plant low-growing plants near the edges of your driveway flower bed, gradually transitioning to taller plants as you move away from the center. This will create a sense of depth and make the space appear larger. Incorporate mirrors or reflective surfaces, such as a mirrored gazing ball or a small garden pond, to give the illusion of extra space and add a touch of elegance to your driveway landscape. Consistent and regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your driveway landscape looking beautiful and prolonging its lifespan.

September 28, 2021 - Mexican Sage is another excellent low-maintenance landscaping choice that requires very little water. One thing that makes it especially suitable for driveways is that it’s extremely tough: the fully grown shrubs are resilient enough to recover even if a vehicle accidentally drives into them. Mexican Sage blooms with purple flowers during the colder seasons and will stay looking lush with its signature gray-green foliage throughout the year. In choosing plants for your driveway landscaping always plant what’s best for your region and climate.

r/gardening on Reddit: What type of perennial would work for this driveway?
January 28, 2024 -
I am planning on planting some perennials in the small strip of dirt/mulch next to our driveway (between the lawn and the driveway). I was thinking about planting one perennial between each pair of rocks. Ideally something that doesn’t grow too tall and adds some color. Would you have any recommendations on what would work? Thanks!
