I agee with the poster who thought this might be lantana. The leaf smell is
a good clue.....and the fast growth and woody "trunk".

I planted some flowers earlier in the summer and now I can't find the
cultivar
card that came with them, so I'm wondering if someone can help me identify
what
they are. The garden center said they are annuals here in the DC metro
area,
zone 7. The plants have multiple blooms that are about 3 inches in
diameter;
the flowers are round in shape and have rings of petals in yellow, pink
and
white. The leaves are dark green, shaped like arrowheads with jagged
edges,
and smell awful! When I first planted these, they were about 8 inches
high,
but they've grown to be about 2.5 feet tall and have thick main stems that
look
to be about an inch in circumference near the soil. Any idea as to what
plant
this might be?

Dahlias?
