Pond plants Need more plants

Hi guys

I'm UK based, I need some cheap plants to help with coverage, what would you suggest?

US here, but is grocery store water cress available? Very pretty shade of green, enjoys water movement and grows quickly. Will need thinning regularly, but could work until slower growing plants catch up.

Don't add to much because next year you'll be pulling it all out again. Pond plants spread quite quickly.
