Colorful mess with scented geranium ( Pelargoniumsp . ) , salvia , and nasturtium . Though filled with fragrant leaf , this container get most of its color the right way now from the sight itself . There are many species in the genusPelargoniumwith strongly sweet-scented leafage . We have links to article about many of themhere . All make great one-year container plants , peculiarly if placed where you may brush your mitt through the foliage to release their marvellous scents .

A pot full of petty English daisies ( Bellisperennis ) . Though technically intrepid in Zones 4–7 , these sweet little flowers are best grown as cool season annuals in much of the country , as they can not survive hot summer weather . In natural spring , however , they are a wonderful plus to the more common coolheaded - time of year yearly like pansies .
