I've also been a huge fan of Hypericum Blue Velvet[TM] from our old
friend, Paul Cappiello (he was the Director of Horticulture at 
Bernheim and has moved up to Director of Yew Dell Gardens in Kentucky).

It's has bluish foliage, tops off at 24", and is covered with yellow
flowers all summer long.  Mine have done very well under a west window
with average soil and moderate irrigation.
