Its trial and error with plants a lot of the time. I also have a Mahonia the one with the yellow flowers in winter planted elsewhere but they are a bit tall as I want something to go in front of the pyracanthas and the fatsia. We had a few bulbs but the dog trod on them.
Fatsias are related to Ivy; infact you can get intergeneric hybrids- x Fatshedera- between them in cultivation- so you may get some of the species that use Ivy. Certainly the late flowers of Fatsia seem to attract quite a few insects.
