    Afternoon all.

    I've bought a nice terracotta pot to stand outside the front door. I can't decide what to plant in there though. The main criteria:

    * Fairly small 'footprint' but preferably quite tall.
    * Pleasantly fragrant.
    * Low maintenance (the front garden gets the least attention).

    Its a warm sunny spot (when the sun shines). Faces south-east.

        Firethorn ? Cheap , evergreen , looks great through winter if you get berries.
