I just had a permeable paver driveway installed at our home on the central Oregon coast in Yachats. I would like to plant something native in the pavers but, not sure what to choose. It's sunny in the morning til midday and then mostly shady. What would you suggest? Thank you!

Thanks for your question about plants for permeable driveways.
For an Oregon native, you could try planting beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis). It is very prolific at spreading itself using aboveground runners.
Some nonnative suggestions would be creeping thyme or bluestar creeper.
