Japanese Maples: Need a Suggestion?, 1 by Z71JROD

Hello,
I am wanting to plant some type of japanese maple in the area between the geranium in the container and the holly shrubs. I am not sure as to what cultivator would be the best. The area is around 5' x 5', so I will need one of the smaller varieties but it could also grow bigger, as I don't mind if it grows past the liriope or the concrete, as long as it does not grow way to large. The site is facing North, it gets a little sun but is mostly in the shade. The next issue is I need a cultivator that is fairly hardy with the heat and drying winds. The only cultivators I have thought of so far are 'Red Dragon' and 'Shania'. If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!
