Kind of a vague question. What kind of height are you looking for? Color of foliage? Many plants have variegated forms available.

Purpleinopp: I don't want a bush but something short to medium height I was admiring a Bruennera[sp] but that needs shade

Dwarf cannas

Dwarf bananas, tho most get 5' or more

Some dwarf alocasia, California being a very good choice but there are a few others, many will not get big the first year year, odora, portadora,Yucatan princess, Zulu mask Mayan mask, but will get big in the future.

Some colocasia can handle full sun and stay reasonable small too
Kona coffee, black coral, pineapple princess, blue Hawaii, and many more.

Sorry I'm not more help I like BIG foliage plants!

You might like Sedums. The roundish leaves are usually interesting shades of purple and blue. Maybe an interesting-looking grass. Yarrow? Dusty miller, Artemesia, Lychnis.
