recommendations: moisture-loving ground covers for pond edge

Completely surrounding my pond are fieldstones, 10". The edging goes directly BETWEEN the pond and a 2-foot wide strip of soilfilled escavation that i will use to plant moisture loving plants.

I need to find plants [whether vines like sweet-potatoe?, or other] that will grow out of the moist to soggy soil and crawl over the surface of the flat stones, to cover them. Any good suggestions?

[There are all sorts of ground covers that i know about, but i dont think that those will thrive in not-well drained soil that is consistently moist or wet].

The best would be a ground cover which would not disintegrate in winter, but would put on new folliage in spring/summer and pick up [length-wise] growing and extending from where it left off the previous growing season so that i can ultimately completely cover the stones.
