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.

But which ones? I think she needs to do a good search on the net for what
she needs.

Not sure how well an anthurium would do outdoors right now though.

I believe they're tropical.

Crypts do ok in colder weather, some hostas will.

Hostas will not grow in water. They like damp soil but not waterlogged
soil. I can't think of one hardy shade (pond) plant that will grow in the
dense shade the OP is dealing with.
