Put plants on the Friesenwall
On a Friesian Wall there is usually increased drought combined with more sun. For this reason, drought-tolerant plants such as lavender or Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary are particularly suitable for planting on the Friesenwall. Grasses also do well on the stone wall.
If you want a continuous flowering Friesian wall, you should opt for perennials or flowers with a long flowering period, or cleverly combine those that bloom at different times. If you don't want to replant your Friesian wall every year, you should also pay attention to perennials and winter hardiness. Below is a list of the most beautiful drought-tolerant and sun-loving plants for the Friesian Wall with their flowering times and winter hardiness.

Plant the joints
A few plants are also good between the joints: they look pretty and strengthen the wall. Common lawns or stonecrop, chickweed or other sun-loving groundcover are suitable for this.
Bare soil is dry soil: ground cover and mulch
Exposed soil dries out quickly and provides a perfect home for weeds. It is therefore advisable to cover exposed soil at the Friesenwall. You can do this with bark mulch, sawdust, nut shells or another mulchable material, or you can underplant your shrubs and perennials with attractive ground covers such as the carpet bellflower
