Default Plants for large driftwood

I've got a large piece of driftwood in my tank that comes to about 5 inches
below the water surface at it's highest point. It is a very bright spot in
my tank and difficult to shade. Been having some trouble with algae at just
this spot and I would like to get a plant to attach to the driftwood here.
Tried Anubius, Java moss, and Java fern. They all work great on the shaded
parts of the wood, but it is just too bright at this spot for them. I've
even went so far as to try some hygro here (attached to the wood
wonderfully, but impossible to keep it looking neat). What I need is a
short plant that likes high light and will attach itself to the wood. It
should also be a slow grower, or something easily trimmed that doesn't need
replanted each trimming - like the moss. Anybody have any other
suggestions?
