Rather than retype a long list that has been done several times before, I'm going to link you to a list from last year that was an answer to Emily's request for plants that would grow in clay.

Anything that will grow in clay will grow in any other soil, so this list is valid for soils other than clay. The better your soil, the faster they tend to grow. I am sure there are other ground covers that I didn't put on the original list because they don't grow well in clay, but I'll leave them for someone else to list since I have clay and that is where my experience lies.
