How about a small daylily? Like Stella d'Oro? Daylily is not a 'self grooming' plant so it needs a little trimming, maybe once a month.

Amaryllis is another one of my favorites, but, they are not small and they are expensive to buy, the bulbs are $8-12 a piece. They are winter dormant. I have seen them used with Lycoris radiata which is winter growing (and there are other 'Hurricane Lilies' http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[common]=&s... )

We grew Muscari in Austin TX which is Z8b and they were hardy.
