It depends on the size of the pots and where you're going to put them. How big are your pots? What part of the country do you live in? Will the pots be in sun or shade? If you give us a bit more information, we can advise you😊
The size of the pod is 1 Liter. Live in United states Dallas. The pots will be in Sun.
1 litre is really very small for anything other than a temporary stage while you're growing on young plants (it's about 4.5 inches/12cm diameter and the same deep). Maybe some of the smallest bedding plants like bush lobelia, if you can keep up with watering probably at least twice a day in warm weather. Or more drought-tolerant plants like sempervivums.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Too small for any flowers that would have any impact, but maybe there's other plants in your area, so it would be easier to follow the advice given re looking at local GCs, and also look at other gardens around you, and perhaps ask their owners. Otherwise, that size of pot would only support the plants already mentioned by @JennyJ, and it would also depend on what the pot is made of as to whether they'd survive. Sempervivums are the only things I can think of that would really work reliably.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That’s not very big so I would stick to annuals? What colour are pots? Where are they going in your garden?
I grow many plants in pots including trees but the size and position is key, type of soil, how much care you can give and what sort of plants you like all need to be considered.
Bigger the better if you want an easier life and happy plants.

Thanks for the advice. My pot's color are red. Many people suggest to me to bring large size pots.

Thanks for the advice. My pot's color are red. Many people suggest to me to get the large one so I buy large pots for my plants. Once again thank you for helping me and giving me the best suggestion.
If you are buying larger pots and you want flowers to be pretty and colourful and you don't mind watering them, even every day when it's hot, then I would go for annuals. Petunias, Million Bells, Ageratum, French Marigolds, Lobelia, Pelargoniums, Diascia, Zinnias, Verbena, Gazanias, dwarf Rudbeckias etc.
Here are some of my previous pots.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The pots are 1 litre - 6 inches. That's very limiting in heat anywhere, but especially in Dallas, I would have thought. Far too small for anything worthwhile in terms of flower power.
