from JackD contains these words:

In the back corner, I'd have fatsia japonica (dinnerplate/handshape
sized shiny green leaves). In front of it or slightly to one side a
phormium ( huge spiky leaves). In what space is left at the front,
several small bushes of any evergreen hebe, all the same kind. (Most of
them have a good season of flowering and respond well to tight clipping;
eventually they will become one seamless mound). Mulch the soil with
bark chips. This will give you a handsome group of very tough evergreen
contrasts with minimal maintenance.
