Yup, yup! I agree with Phoebe!
If you aren't ready for other things yet, you can go for
succulents. There are so many pretty ones!
There are some Ultra-Dwarf citris. My girlfriend is going to pick some up for her patio.
Mock Orange is a great shrub. If you get a little baby, you can trim it back every year so that you can keep it there longer.
Escallonia is also a beautiful shrub. It puts off
flowers once in a while but the way the shrub grows is nice and symetric. Very pretty!!! Mine is in a 2 gallon pot.
I forgot to mention that my neighbor has a HUGE arrowhead on her front deck. I think it gets 4 hours of morning sun right now.
