The only plant I can think of that would survive zone 6 is Vinca Major or Vinca Minor. (Periwinkle) Even though it is classified as a perennial, it stays green all year, is hard to kill, and has a nice deep blue flower. It is a ground cover that doesn’t require much water. Before spring you can mow it to get nice new green leaves. Once established, it will grow year after year.
You can buy it in flats for about $20 per flat and ground preparation for installation is minimal
I think you will find that most other ground cover type plants will turn brown and substantially die off in the winter.
Good Luck!
