Anacharis is an easy fast-growing plant, anubias, and java fern are also good beginner plants but grow a lot slower.

With any of these grow in gravil only tanks?
So long you dose ferts n liquid co2 if u don't have co2 system running u should be ok.  U can also buy root tabs they also might help 

I have these 3 in a gravel only set up and dose on days I do waterchanges and they're doing great! I haven't tried the co2 liquid but they are doing really well with just plant food from aqueon. They also do really well in low lights.

Java moss, java ferns, jungle vall, ludwigia, crypts, and some amazon swords

Hygrophilla polysperma and Water Wistaria (I think you call it, Hygrophilla difformis) are normally reliable. I used to think they were fool-proof but they didn't do well, compared with some other plants in a soft water - low pH tank this fool used to have...
They are worth trying because they are fairly cheap.

get anubias nana, and if u want a big foot high plant, get an anubias hastifolia. driftwood tied to java moss=awesome, and for small plants that spread like a grass, get micro sword or dwarf sagitarius. and then just a big amazon sword plant and a few crypt

since you are a beginner, i recommend you going with low light plants. for example like, jungle vals, crypts, dwarf sags, amazon swords, anubias, java fern, java moss, and all those low light plants. just try to find some on google. with just these plants and your amazing art skills, you can make a beautiful aquascape, but yea, i recommend you going with low light plants. Plants also need substrate like eco-complete, flourish, fluval stratum, fluval flora, or dirt (not from outside of your yard).
