Live in North Texas and need ideas for landscaping around swimming pool?

I have a long narrow flower bed along the entire back wall (south wall) of my house that is completely empty. This bed gets long hours of hot Texas sun and adjoins my swimming pool deck, so the plants should not be messy, drop a lot of petals, leaves and should not have sharp or pointy leaves, thorns, etc. I would like ideas for tropical, colorful plants that would be good to plant here. The bed is only a couple feet wide, so plants that would not grow too wide would be great. I was thinking of a small palm (if there is such a thing), hibiscus, but would also like to plant some perennials. Dianthus are really the only perennial flowers that have consistently done well in this spot. There is a sprinkler system and I will put bark mulch in the bed. I also have a couple large pots that will be placed on the pool deck and would like ideas for colorful plants to go in those, but they must be draught tolerant because plants in pots dry out very quickly here.

You have alot of very special if this & that. Without knowing you’re area I would suggest you go to a local nursery and really look around. You will know what you like when you see it.
They should be able to recommend or direct you in the right direction if you tell them what you said above. Also they will be familiar with the drought tolerant plants they carry along with which plants would do good as tropical–and if they can be outside all year.
Good Luck I would love to be able to landscape around my pool.
