Plants for winter...

I am going to the nursery this weekend to get some more plants for my garden, I want to plant things that will survive the winter outside without me having to repot etc.

Any suggestions?

Also for plants that flower in the winter.

The only plant that I know that flowers reliably in winter are winter pansies, and these can be started much later in the year.

I guess stuff that will overwinter in the average garden are frost hardy evergreens and bulbs.
