We live on west coast of Florida (fort Myers) and this is our side yard (faces east). Recently removed all of the ground cover due to a weed problem. In the back of the bed is ginger plants and a small tree fern. Looking for some ideas on what to plant in front around the big oak. The bed is pretty shady due to the oak. Thanks for your help! Trying to accomplish this in the next couple days in preparation for a big backyard party!!

Bromeliads will work great in the area of the Oak. Stoloniferas types ( Fireball, Nemo, Zoe etc ) Also add a few Crotons for height.

I agree with Scott. Some need more sun than others, so do some research before investing in them.
