Location does matter, I mean zone where you live, there are lots of smaller bushes, but watch for how big they can get....
Here are some good places to check out bushes, you can order from them, or go to your local place with names of what you want. I have ordered from both and have been happy with the results, but a good nursery is hard to beat...

Firebush is a great bush.
Check it out.
The picture doesn't do this plant justice.
The leaves take on a nice reddish hue around the tips.

you should re-post this locating your city and state or what your sun/rain conditions are. a lot of "non-evergreens" need special care and conditions. this would help narrow it down
