Are there any red groundcovers?

I saw a post a little while ago about Echinodorus tennellus "red" and it got me thinking that I would like to try some red ground covers. I did a google search for the red variety of tennellus and not get any hits.

Are there other names for the red variety? Or is there even redder variety?

Are there any other red ground covers?
 
There are not a lot of choices in red foregrounds. E tennelus "red" being I thing the best if you want a lawn effect. Here are a few choices of red foreground:

Echinodorus tenellus var 'Tenellus' "Red Teneilus"

Hygrophila sp from Araguaia - a real slow grower. Nice deep red color

Eriocaulon sp from Australia "Red" - If it grows like similar eriocaulons, it will split every once in a while. You might have a full ground cover in like a year.
