over the years we've looked for plantings that don't require a lot of maintenance. As pretty as they are when in bloom, I'd suggest that you stay away from bougainvillea....they grow extremely fast and require a lot of trimming. Another to avoid is the Cardboard Palm (unless you have a lot of space)...the Boston Ferns also grow huge down here....so take width into consideration too. Which plants to go with depends upon the orientation of your home....some plants do well in full sun others do not. less is sometimes better.
we recently had the front plantings redesigned and installed by Village Palm.
We also plant the tops of pineapple plants in the back which faces south, and every
18 months or so the plants yield a fruit almost as big as what you'd get at the store, but sweeter.
happy gardening and welcome to TV
