Lavender in window box.

You might not have a lot of outdoor space, or you might only have a windowsill, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still grow some beautifully fragrant blooms. In fact there are some types of fragrant plants that not only grow well in containers and window boxes but will thrive in them.

Whether you prefer something sweet, citrusy or would rather have a somewhat spicy and heady fragrance to enjoy as you sit outdoors, these plants are happy in a variety of containers. Many of them also require little maintenance or upkeep, making them perfect for those who are just starting to get into gardening or those looking for an easy-to-manage outdoor project.
