I need a plant that has all year colour, ( or at least during summer)
and that will grow to about 1m max.

An elderly lady wants to look at something from her window, so has to
be seen from a distance.

May be even 3 different plants, in a group, to give an all round year
colour.

When I die, this is going to be found carved on my heart!! ;-) Where do you
live? Climate and soil make a lot of difference to what can be suggested.
In the meantime, Phormiums or a variety of Miscanthus sinensis might do the
job. Could something be grown up a frame, perhaps?
