Outdoors? Don't you have January out there in zone 5? Anything that
won't freeze should be ok. Although I actually live near large cities
my US friends refer to this place as a "frozen arctic wasteland" yet
every spring Ludwigia, Riccia, vals and sags and all sorts of aquaqrium
plants pop up in the lakes rivers and ponds here. So, some of them
can freeze.

=======================
The lack of SUNLIGHT is her/his biggest problem, not the cold.


Oh, well then: Aroids. They pretty much all like it wet and shaded.

Not sure how well an anthurium would do outdoors right now though.
Crypts do ok in colder weather, some hostas will.
