5 is pleasing to the eye

Five is a number that is used often in design. A classic example of five is to set up two parallel rows with thre in one row and two in the other. This works best in rectangular beds but can work in irregularly shaped beds, too. That is not the only way to use five plants. Ihave found that that positioning two plants on one side of a path and three on  the other does not work (especially with mounding plants), but having four balanced by a fifth feels right.
