I'd suggest maybe a nice jasmine, not sure what zone you are in though. I know they sell a varigated madagascar jasmine with beautiful white/green leaves, they'd match your pots!

Jasmine's a nice choice, but eventually needs a larger pot..How about Hoya? They're slow growing and enjoy being rootbound. Some Hoya's flower once a year, others can bloom several times. Most Hoyas hang, but they're are bushy types. Leaves come in green, and variegated. Toni

Do you mean to plant outside of your house? Or will they be indoors as houseplants?

a "scentimental" favorite of mine would be petunias.
dark purple (which i recall usually seem to be more fragrant) or light pink flowered would look good with the brown.
white flowers would also pick up the color of the trim on the pots and home.

These plants will be outdoors near my front door and windows thats why I thought something fragrant would be nice. I'm think that the pink petunias may look very nice with the brown stucco house. Is there a certain variety that doesn't get so leggy?
Thanks for all the imput.

How much sun do your pots get? For trailing, scented foliage, you could try herbs like mints, lemon balm or thymes, which would be hardy, or scented geraniums, which are not -- but all of these need a lot of sun.

For fragrant annuals, try heliotrope, wallflowers, sweet alyssium, etc.; is there a nursery nearby where you could get some ideas?

Realistically, you'd need something almost arctic-hardy to survive outdoors in a 10" pot in your zone, but you could try abelia mosanensis.

Hope this gives you some ideas,

I would plant the old-fashioned vining petunias. Their scent is so strong and delicious that you would be able to sense it from at least 50 feet away on a summer evening. Yes, they do get leggy but it is easy to cut them back periodically. I obtained my seeds from Seed Savers Exchange last year but I think Select Seeds also has plants for sale this year. They put on a truly spectacular show, both from a visual and an olfactory standpoint.

Anyone please if you see this message if you know a source to get Davanam fragrant leaves(South Indian Language) seeds or plant, please post it on this forum or e-mail to tekmaljyothi@yahoo.com.
Appreciate your help.

Thanks
