Plants with fragrant flowers
Plants with fragrant flowers are an excellent way to add another dimension to your garden, filling your outdoor space with fabulous perfume. Scented flowers are best planted close to an entrance or doorway, adjacent to a path or another location you pass by often. Flowers give off scent as another way to attract pollinating insects. Fragrant flowers enhance the pleasure of the garden and are a key part of planting borders that invoke all the senses. Whilst rose bushes and lavender plants are popular for good reason, there are many other options including Skimmia Rubella with deep purple/rich red tight flower buds during autumn and winter which open to panicles of scented white flowers lasting into the spring, or a wide range of Wisteria plant varieties with an abundance of scented mauve-blue flowers. Choose Choisya Ternata Sundance for citrus scented, yellow foliage and white blossoms from late winter to early spring, or winter Jasmine for bright yellow fragrant flowers on arching stems, perfect for training over a trellis or left to scramble over a low wall.
