While not generally considered a groundcover plant, some of the shorter dianthus might be an option. Percentage of return might be lower than other choices, however; my Velvet-N-Lace are showing return of about fifty percent so far.
There's debate aplenty about campanula's possible invasive tendencies, but a great many are shorter and they do tend to have a long bloom season.
There's a great selection of miniature hosta available now, too, and they always look so nice next to a water feature.
All of these would require a path, I guess, but they still might work for you.
