Default Plants for a Winter hanging basket

Hi,
Any ideas for 'unusual' plants that would grow happily in a winter hanging
basket? Please don't include ivy or pansies in your suggestions. As the
basket will be hung under an archway, it will not be subject to a covering
of snow - I hope!!


I've made a winter pot with a little pieris, a yellow euonymous, a hebe
franciscana and a skimmia. But first, underneath I put 4 white hyacinth
bulbs for some variety in 2/3 months time. Hope that gives you some
ideas.
