What can I put between flagstone rocks on my patio besides grass and pebbles to make it even?

depending what your base is, you could broom sand into the joints. You could also use a mortar.

If they are set into the dirt, eventually the soil will fill in even with the flagstone. Then it’s just a matter of weed-control, if you don’t want vegetation there.

broken 20mm purple slate- it’s beautiful and gives a variant of colours when wet, available at all good garden centres.

I don’t know if this addresses the evenness question, but something that looks beautiful between patio stones is Irish moss. It’s bright green and velvety and can be walked on. You can also use creeping thyme between stones. When you walk on that, it gives off an aroma.

Depending on how far apart your stones are, either gravel or “rock dust”. Don’t use the pea (rounded) gravel, it washes away easily. Rock dust is very small pointed gravel, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size, plus rock powder; once it’s wetted, it tends to form a mortar and stay in place. You can usually get it at a stone dealer.
