What are some good, low maintenance flowers for a flower garden in Texas?

My driveway has a flower garden on each side. Well, currently one has some bushes and hibiscus that I think died over the cold winter. The other side has some big Japanese Spruce treese that also look like they died over winter (is that even possible?-they're reddish colored instead of green, so it's my only thought). I'm not a person with a green thumb and don't have a lot of time, but what kind of flowers would look great on both sides of my driveway, and are there any that don't attract lots of bees? My house is more of a burgundy color. Thanks for any advice you have.
