to plant next to it.
Thanks


It would help to know where you are, but here goes (check for hardiness):

Fatshedera
Phormium
Bronze Fennel
Blue or bronze grasses
Carex 'Evergold'
Euonymus 'Silver Queen'
Heucheras
Bergenias
Lots of hardy winter bulbs underneath to give a carpet of cheering
colour, such as: Snowdrops, Winter Aconites, Cyclamen coum, early crocus.
Also, Pulmonarias would look good with their spotted leaves, and their
flowers would give you colour as the bulbs die back. They are also an
excellent early feast for bees.
