I was going to suggest plastic flowers, since nothing will grow, but I like the fieldstone suggestion better. You don't even have to make it real. Could paint in a trompe l'oeil style.
This means you paint it to look like the real thing.

Tyr some periwinkle (vinca). I recently tried to post this idea but it hasn't appeared yet. I have it on my property and it grows in sun and shade, is very hardy, doesn't need much water, can grow three feet tall at least,and is kind of a miracle plant. It has been growing at my parents house for at least 70 years and my father never even watered it in the summer, in a semi-shady area. I transplanted mine from there. In a couple years you will have a forest of it that you will want to cut back., But it doesn't get out of control. It grows in banks of it or as borders. I have some moldy looking spots in the shade on the stucco wall and i am thinking of just letting it grow over that and trimming it.

We have native rock covering our cement basement walls. They have different sizes, so no pattern. Another plus is you can plan a rock-climbing wall on the side of your house for your children.
