Morning andrew
Hellebores are excellent for late winter colour on evergreen lush leaved plants. Wallflowers too....albeit for one season only
Mahonias provide scent and colour December - January, Daphne's scent and colour in late winter, viburnums, winter jasmine for walls and fences, winter honeysickle, sarcoccoca, etc
Domt forget foliage .....pittosporums Tom thumb gives wonderful shiny black foliage in winter as does the black "grass" ophiopogon nigrescens. There are grasses to provide yellow, blue, red colour in winter. And variegated shrubs like euonymous emerald n gold. Eucalyptus provides steel blue foliage in winter. Going into early spring the list opens up as does the colour in autumn
