AKAmommy asks: I need advice on fragrant flowers for my garden.?
I’m starting to think about my garden this summer and was wondering about ideas for fragrant flowers. I have a very limited gardening area as I live in a condo so I usually end up with a lot of baskets and containers. My ground plot is 5 feet by 2 feet and the back of it that sits against the house is already planted with lillies that come up every year.
Any suggestions? I’d like to have more fragrance this year…

Petunia’s are very fragrant. Though the smell isn’t the most wonderful smell in the world. As is the marigold.
Lavender, caryopteris, Persion lilac, thyme (lemon, lime, many others),
oregano, catmint, St john’swort, Russian sage, lemon sage, hosta, dianthus, there are many others.
pots of hyacinth on your porch or gardenia comes in miniature also there are many kinds of Miniature rose plants that will give wonderful fragrance as well as Jasmine you should look for potted plants to place on your window or porch also plant lots of geraniums they can be brought inside for the winter as long as placed in a sunny area also they will bloom beautiful colored flowers as long as properly cared for
Another flower would be Phlox. They bloom midsummer and come in a variety of colors, can be 24″ to 40″ tall. They are very hardy once established. I have them and have shared them with family. In the new catalogs there are even a couple new colors this year.
Well, try some creepers to go up your walls or fence, that doesn’t take up space. Jasmine flowers smell beautifull and the are very pungent, you can smell them like 5m away from the actual plant. Also mandavillia (also a creeper) flowers look awesome and smell like pink jelly beans. Yummy.
Look for some pics online.
