Hello everyone!
We have a 30cm (12 inch) narrow planting strip—yes, really that narrow—along the side of our neighbors’ garage (9m (30 ft) long). This strip exists because of an installed irrigation system.
We would like to plant it! Preferably with nice ground covers that remain narrow or with taller plants. However, these should only grow wider than about 0.3m (12 inches) after that point, so our robot mower can pass underneath without obstruction. It would also be great if they don’t grow very deep.
Do you have any specific suggestions for what we could plant there?

Red basically indicates the neighbor’s garage, and green marks the planting strip.
Grapevines need some kind of support or trellis, right? Unfortunately, I can’t attach one to the garage because it has external wall insulation (ETICS / EIFS). I want to avoid damaging that. How do grapevines generally behave in this regard?
The entire passage is 3 meters (10 feet) wide. Accordingly, there is wind in that area. I consider it somewhat sheltered from the wind, and from noon to 6 p.m. in summer, it should receive sunlight.
