If you have a local independent nursery or a native plant nursery nearby, you will find a nice selection of plants that will thrive in your garden.

For six plants in a circle the pattern would be

pink-pink- pink- white- pink- white.

or

pink-pink-red-white-pink-white.

OP is absent, not even a thank you...maybe they got their answer from AI.

Ouch!! I research so much I suffer from analysis paralysis, but I still come here for suggestions, thoughts, and real-life experience with plants. Isn't that what a discussion forum is for?

alwayscold (lol that could be MY name too!) I can't help you though because I am in a completely different zone. My only thoughts would be that I thinkkkkk I might stick with one kind of plant and one color on both trees, just to tie things in. If you do go with different colors, I would make each tree the same pattern/color combo.

Good luck and show us your after pictures!

P.S. Just realized I'm thinking "annuals". If you want perennials, I think I would go with some ground-hugging low-growing plant. Would perennials interfere more with the roots of the palm than annuals would?

I would make a smooth curve to the bed from the palm past the little bulge.
