You don't state where you live or if the container will be indoors or outdoors or outdoors, good drainage, etc. which can affect the herbs. However, off hand, I would suggest Corsican mint and some of the creeper thymes, i.e. elfin, red-flowered, pink chintz, coconut, caraway, and Annie Hall to name just a few.

I've only grown one, an edible dwarf. I had it over three years in a container and it languished and gave white flesh fruit that were nothing like a pom, and unusable. I plucked it from the pot a few weeks ago.

Beware that the nursery industry lies... Uhhh, gee thanks. :( But, "lies", no. That is an unfair statement. Dry gallons and liquid gallons aren't the same amount. 1 gallon, dry = 1.1636 gallons, liquid So what you are seeing in the nursery industry is a liquid gallon label since that is the U.S. Customary usage but which actually hold the equivalent dry gallon measurement of a dry material like potting soil. A 5 gallon nursery pot will hold 5 gallons of water (if you plug up the drain holes) it just won't hold 5 gallons of potting soil. A 5 gallon paint bucket (liquid) = 4.3 dry gallons. Or approx. 4 dry gallons of soil if not filled to the rim. Dave

"So I can leave them outside in NY winters? Mine did not drop leaves this past winter but I did bring them inside with the rest." Zone 7/LI, NY, As I said above, the Dwarf Pomegranate IS HARDY (in the GROUND..., not in a pot left outside), in the NYC vicinity in Zone 7 (even down to 6B..., especially with good microclimate). The variety/cultivar of pomegranate known as Russian Pomegranate is also cold hardy to Zone 7 (but I have not tried that one...YET!) My dwarf has seen 0 Degrees and been buried in snow drifts! Again, I have no experience with the NON-DWARFS in my area (Greater NYC/NY Metro Area/Zone 7).
