Smaller mimosa?

I've got a warm, sheltered, south facing fence, along which I’d like to site a mimosa tree.
I saw them whilst on holiday in the south of France and fell in love with them.
I know some varieties can grow into substantial medium trees, but are there are varieties that perhaps do not exceed the 8m or so mark?
Also, do they prefer acid soil and any other specific condition? The bed will be brand new, so I can pamper it as much as it needs to be!

I'd go for something with a greater spread of interest thru the seasons - bark, foliage, blossom, berries, autumn leaf colour...........

Any ideas?
Look out for this tree - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/77430/Cercidiphyllum-japonicum-Rotfuchs/Details gorgeous foliage colours thru teh season and smells of caramel in autumn.
Smaller forms of sorbus would give you foliage interest, blossom and berries and attract wildlife.
