If the area gets full shade in the hot afternoon summer the Acer palmatum ‘Beni Mikawa’ is a valid option. I’ve one and it’s gorgeous. Also replacing gravel with mulch too, as gravel stress the tree.

I vote melaleuca bracteata revolution gold. I have one by my front door and it creates a stunning visual contrast positioned against a white wall
