Crocosomia, A.Mollis and Kerria Japonica. I put up with the last one because of the lovely early yellow double flowers and the fact that it grows just fine in total shade, but its' vigorous suckering habit is a nightmare if you let it spead inside the rootball of other shrubs. Kept in a dark corner it behaves itself. Don't plant bits of it into a sunny border as I once did, or it acts like some of the spreading bamboos!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

That lovely variagated grass, Gardener's Garters (Phalaris arundinacea)!
Has a lovely spreading habit rather like that invasive Couch grass (Elymus repens)!
If you must have it put it in a container but I find it will soon fill any container I put it in.
