water loving plants

I live in the Dallas area and have a beautiful new oversized fountain that sprays water within 1 or 2 feet of the fountain. The soil stays wet constantly. I have elephant ears in another area, but the area near the fountain would not be big enough for the "ears". Any suggestions on a water thriving planting??
