    Heathers grow so slowly that they're quite maintenance free and they flower in spring. I'm not really sure what else though, I'm not into plants that remain the same all the time.
    Perhaps some hydrangeas would look good. They can grow into a large bush eventually, but they look good. There are also cotoneasters too.
