We study the excitation of spatial patterns by resonant, multi-frequency forcing in systems undergoing a Hopf bifurcation to spatially homogeneous oscillations. Using weakly nonlinear analysis we show that for small amplitudes only stripe or hexagon patterns are linearly stable, whereas square patterns and patterns involving more than three modes are unstable. In the case of hexagon patterns up- and down-hexagons can be simultaneously stable. The third-order, weakly nonlinear analysis predicts stable square patterns and super-hexagons for larger amplitudes. Direct simulations show, however, that in this regime the third-order weakly nonlinear analysis is insufficient, and these patterns are, in fact unstable.
