Nan-
Something that might work for you---it is not a grand plant by anymeans but
when in bloom in the fall it is quite the show. It is the pinecone shrimp
plant--not sure on the exact botantical name but it is one of the
Justicia's....the blooms are a bit different than the commonly known shrimp
plant....they are a deep red and this one only blooms in the fall. Easily
rooted from cuttings to. It is common but by the fall it is about 30" high
and blooms profusely in shade or sun. It remains an evergreen for me. Dies
back just a bit--but you always know it's there.
