Hi Del,

I suggest lemon grass.  It is easy to grow and will have the spikiness that you desire in a planter.  If you run out of the regular spikes (or even if you want to forget them and just do LG)  run to a local Asian market and buy the lemon grass they have for sale in the produce section.  They are very easy to root and transplant like a charm after a few weeks.  Might want to see if the Asian market will give you a deal on them if you buy in bulk.  But, still genreally cheap, about 30 cents a plant..similar to a plug bought in.
