Camouflage next years out door grow

as the title says i was thinking if i can get my two trial bag seed plants to grow good i may clone the plants for next year if i can not get any good seeds. I am going to do a flower garden with a couple of mixed flowers to help cover them up and help blend in.
I found some flower/plants that i think would help what do you think of the plants pictured.

You could try some Cleomes (sometimes called spider flower). They look almost identical to mj. They flower continuously throughout the summer. On the other hand, having a patch of plants that look like pot might cause you the same trouble.

I'd stay away from the spearmint. It is very invasive and will spead like crazy. I like the Monarda Bergamo http://www.ngb.org/gardening/varieti...da_Bergamo.jpg

If you can toss in some wild flower mix I think it would work pretty good.

Oh ok. I did not know spearmint was a spreader. I read that spearmint and some kind of peppermint/lemon sugar plant has strong smells and were good to cover up smells. I may plant the spearmint in a windowsill planter and place it next to the garden for smell coverage.
I like the monarda bergamo. I may have to sow some of them too.
Yes i was thinking of throwing wild flower mix into the flower garden also and play dumb if the plants were seen.

I wouldn't reccommend Lupines. They require a lot of water. Way more than mj needs. They only flower once for a short time. They tend to flop down and and lay in the dirt. While they are flowering they look great but after that I doubt they would really be a good distraction from the pot. IMHO
