Hi Derek, im a great fan of plants with foliage colour and texure, I try to treat flowers as a bonus. Im also a great fan of Pieris, they have those longlasting flowers in winter and then the magnificent spring display of shoots. Id go for 'mountain fire' and around the Choisya Id plant Heuchera 'Midnight Rose'
with maybe some Euonymous silver queen as well. That would give colour texture and ground cover all one could ever ask for !!
