    Same as every year - various ensetes, Musa Basjoo, Hedychium and other Gingers, hardy Schefflera and palms.

    I have Tried germinating Ravenala madagascariensis but it's pretty much impossible image

    Stick to hardy palms - Trachycarpus and Chammies are very hardy, Washingtonia and the Canary Island Date Palms are half-hardy, perhaps more in a very sheltered spot.

    Ravenala can go outside in summer but need to come inside or in a heated greenhouse in winter. They will eventually grow too big.
