Plant for porch

What plant could I have on a windowsill in a light but unheated porch that would be happy and survive?

Nothing trailing as I have things like wellies below the windowsill

What sort of plants do you like and what size/shape we're you thinking of? Does the space get lots of direct light? If you want a trailing plant would a hanging plant be possible?

I currently have a money tree and a rubber tree plant in my unheated, freezing cold porch, and they are both doing as well as a plant can that gets forgotten on watering day. Previously I've had peace lilys in there and they are quite hardy too

Thanks for replies. In answer, something that isn't too wide or tall, no direct light after first thing in the morning.

I think I will try peace Lily and wonder if a pot of hyacinths this time of year would be ok

Hyacinths smell amazing and peace lilies are lovely.
