I have this one pot that I'm looking for a nice plant to put in it; west facing, near entrance so by wall where it gets hotter. It's the last plant going in, would be nice for something with some pop as rest are greenery, spider plants, asiatic jasmine etc. Would like moss rose but not enough sun for it, any suggestions?

I have lots of containers in mostly shade, although they do get some filtered sun. I can't really tell how large your flower pot is, some of these may need a large container to be happy.

Flowering plants, Pentas, Begonia, Impatiens, some bromeliads.

Foliage plants, ferns, caladiums, coleus, some crotons like shade, snake plant, some philodendrons. Persian Shield, peperomia, some dracaena.

I have some oyster plants that grow in complete shade, they are in the ground, although I've seen them grown in flower pots.

I might go with something that compliments or echos the colors in the pot. Something like a bright red bromeliad like the Neoregelia Magali or perhaps a lime green coleus like Lime Time - but there are many similar looking ones. The coleus might need more water though.
