plants for winter interest
I'm fairly sure that there isn't a single phrase for this in English. Gardeners tend to talk about what plants provide "interest" during a certain time of the year and then go on to explain why (Anita's explanation....).
"Seed-heads also have an aesthetic bonus, as they provide winter interest in the garden."
