Winter pansies, all sorts of miniature daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths. Heathers, variegated ivy. Camellias (protect from morning frost). Christmas rose (Hellebore).
Shrubs that look good in winter are: Skimmia, Ilex (holly), Viburnum, Mahonia, winter jasmine. Some Daphnes are very early flowering and have a heavenly scent. Choose compact varieties.
Ask your local garden centre, they will be very knowledgeable about what does well in your area.

Dwarf evergreens are very nice for a centerpiece. Pansies and violas are nice for winter color and the flowering kale astually benefits from the winter cold as its colors deepen.Heather is nice and some of it blooms in the winter. Primroses are great. You can plant some bulbs under your winter color and get a burst of spring color.

Winter pansies planted about 3 or 4 to a pot. They thrive in any weather.

Dwarf wallflowers are evergreen and bloom in the spring and smell lovely. For all round colour viola or pansies are great.
