Plan ahead and plant a spring-flowering shrub or perennial to bring blooms and tantalising scents for the next year. We especially like:
Clematis armandii, an evergreen climber with deliciously fragrant white flowers. Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis), divine if a bit of a garden thug. The purple Iris graminea has a fragrance like well-cooked plum tart. Osmanthus x burkwoodii, evergreen with super-fragrant white blooms. Many viburnums smell luscious: try V x carlcephalum or V x burkwoodii. Choisya ternata or Mexican Orange Blossom is one of the easiest sweet-smellers to grow. Osmanthus x burkwoodii, evergreen with super-fragrant white blooms. Primroses, especially varieties of pretty Primula auricula. Just about any lilac (Syringa ssp) smells heavenly. |
