Hello, we have these five arborvitae and in my area 5 to 6 foot arborvitae’s are going for $175 a piece, not spending that. Trying to think of maybe a colorful perennial to the left and right. I just want something very low maintenance that won’t require a lot of pruning in trimming. Any suggestions?

Another arborvitae
Where are you?
Arrowwood viburnum is deciduous but will grow dense and with white flowers, berries and fall color. You can mix in some Hollies too for all year green.
Hydrangea
Rose of Sharon or lilac. They may need some occasional pruning. They are also not native.
St. Louis neighbor reporting in. These are popular here that fit your description:

As to the Arbor Vitae: See what the price is for a small one. It can grow into it.
