The Best Fragrant Flowers for Spring

Planning a garden takes a lot of thought and decision making. Which flowers would you like to see every day? Do you prefer perennials that reappear each year, or annual bulbs for short-term fix? Texture or colour? Colour or fragrance? What about all four?

We understand the struggle of planning a garden as avid gardeners ourselves. We also know that a garden isn't just to look pretty. It's about texture, smell and seasonality, too. Marry together all four garden concepts with these fragrant plants and flowers. Not only do they look wonderful, they smell wonderful too!

Supplied as easy-to-plant bulbs, the Hyacinth is perfect for all gardeners as they require little attention to thrive.
