In my experience, female bettas display little, if any, less conspecific aggression than the males. I have a 40 gallon and a 55 gallon community tank. 1 is heavily planted, the other is heavily decorated. I've had nothing but trouble trying to keep more than 1 female in the tank.
I would recommend doing a community setup around the female. Make her the centerpiece and then add a small school of tetras. Unlike males, they are consistantly very tolerant of tankmates, but not so much with other bettas.
