Can you please recommend an evergreen for a large container? Diametre is 15 inches. I have a brown cordyline with pink edge in a slightly smaller pot with it. Or if you have any other striking non evergreen plants thats fine too. Just dont want to much work with it throughout the year. Can be architectural, flowers, dont really mind - open to all suggestions

Pieris forest flame? Skimmia japonica rubella? Skimmia japonica reevesiana? Are worthy of consideration.

Pieris japonica 'Forest Flame' or 'Flaming Silver'. The only requirement being that they need to be grown in ericaceous compost.
