Hi zone5girl!

If your flower bed is going to be like a "raised bed" with the soil all the way to the top of the bricks you might want to try a plant called Bacopa. I use it in my flower pots in front of the house. It forms a nice thick blanket that drapes over the edge of the pot and has little white flowers. By the end of summer it's at least 2ft. long. If you plant it at the edge of your wall it should drape over and cover it some.

Petunias would work too. The Wave and Surfinia varieties are pretty nice. Also you can try some sweet potato vine. No flowers just foliage (comes in lime green and "blackie" dark leaves).
