Default Filter plants starting to grow - any new ones to recommend?

Has anyone got any ideas about good plants to add to the filter
system? We are expecially interested in ones that would work early.

I use parrot feather over winter. It grows back right after being
frost bitten to the waterline. Cannas begins to grow at about 40F and
so do cattails. Tall plants though, a bit of a problem when the wind
blows.

Regards,

Hal
