Dark Purple Foreground Plants Suggestions?

[Woodlol]

Good morning/afternoon/evening!

I'm looking for some ideas for bushy dark purple foreground plants for my planted tank. The picture is a little cloudy because I had just planted the others, but I want to put some red/black lava rocks and something dark and lush in front of the red lava rocks. Any ideas?

Eventually I'm planning on a pearl weed carpet in some areas.

Bucephalandra has been suggested... any other thoughts?

THANKS!

Deep Purple IS a fantastic band! I guess deep red or just DARK foliage would be good...

purple plants are garden plants, not aquarium plants. if you want purple plants in an aquarium, use artificial plants

Buce is a good example, some species are super purple. Crypts feel like a good candidate too like Cryptocoryne Undulatus, Cryptocoryne Wendtii or Cryptocoryne Albida Red. There is also a Red version of Helanthium Tenellum but I think that might need really high lighting.

There is Purple Sultan sword plant. I want to try that myself. From what I've seen its very purple and a slender sword. Amano planted it by the dozen close together in the Lisbon tank.

Cryptocoryne Affinis can be dark purple under its leaves in certain conditions, I just don't think it will be low growing enough for your tank.

my "red crypts" turned dark brown under high light
red rubin sword is probably not foreground but it turns dark brown-ish too

The closest to red in Crypts that is not Flamingo is 'Florida'. Another I meant to order and never got around to it.
The Purple sword is the real deal..but its not a foreground plant. At first glance there is solda purple foreground plant...because it was grown emersed!..when dunked it turns a plain green. What is that name?
Water Lobelia!..came to me,

not sure if i can fit it in a 15g, since the 75g is already taken over by all sorts of swords!
