If you can find Callisia fragrans, I recommend trying it. Happy to be in a pot, interesting to look at, grows incredibly fast, and the flowers it made last winter/spring lasted for about 4 months. Tiny, insignificant looking things that bloom most days (not all) during that time period, sweetly scented strongly enough to perfume a whole room inside, or waft across the porch outside. Doesn't really care if it's in sun or shade, just not too much of either. I just noticed the flower stalks starting to form on my plants again a few days ago.

Below are 2 new pics, new flower stalk and one of whole plant, then a pic of flowers from earlier this year.
