What to plant along a gangway beside my house?

I have a narrow strip of soil (about 2 ft. wide) on the side of my house. It gets partial sun/partial shade. Whatever I plant must be fairly contained so it does not grow over the walkway next to this strip. I am looking for some ideas about what I could plant between the patches of lamium. Or would it be better just to fill it all in with lamium? I want to fill it all in so it will be relatively weed free. One problem is that is gets little moisture from rain due to the overhang of my house.

Sweet Woodruff would be a nice addition.
This article has a few more suggestions.
