Find something to grow on our porch

Help! My husband and I live in Sacramento, CA (zone 9) and have an covered entryway/porch that we'd like to find a topiary for. Our house faces West-Southwest and the porch only gets late afternoon filtered sun (1-2 hours in the winter and 3-4 in the summer). There are a couple of trees in the front that prevent the area from getting direct sun the whole time. We have tried a couple of potted topiaries (Alberta Spruce & Azalea), but neither fared well. Can anyone suggest something we can plant there? We both would like something topiary-ish if possible, but at this point we're open to anything! Not sure if we should go with a "shade plant" since the sun does get brutal for the short time it hits the area.

Thanks!
