I'm heading off blue here. Lollipop plant blooms 12 months of the year. It gets about two feet tall although it says 3 and it will grows under my 90% shade cloth. It also grows under my eaves and I only water there once a week in the winter. It would appreciate more than that in the summer though. This is a not-very-good photo of a baby but the flower spikes are about 6" long and seem to last forever. I do love this plant. The snails leave it alone too.

One other thought is abutilon. It's supposed to get more sun but I've found it's fine with this amount. It can get by without too much water, but it doesn't come in blue.
