Where to plant fragrant flowers
Fragrant flowers are best suited to the most optimal placement for the full garden experience. All flowers are beautiful, but not all of them have a strong enough fragrance that can transform your garden from not just looking gorgeous, but smelling gorgeous too!
Fragrant walkways
Walkways are a great place to plant
your fragrant flowers. Their position on the ground lining the walkway will
allow the breeze to gently lift the scent from the flowers. It will fill the
air as you follow the path, leaving a beautiful scent in the air.
A great
plant to make your walkways fragrant is Lavender. With tall stems it will
not only make your walkway more defined but the foliage will add some density
to your garden. When all the stems come together they will fill the air with
the sweet fragrance.
Aromatic hanging baskets
Hanging baskets are a great feature
for any garden. They can help turn your uneventful walls into something
beautiful! As they're positioned above the ground the fragrance from the
baskets will immediately fill the surrounding area with the scent, making each
breath that little bit more sweeter.
A favourite for hanging baskets is Petunia Tumbelina Priscilla, a
highly scented plant with long trails. Our double flowering variety, blooms in
abundance throughout the summer months ensuring that your garden stays fragrant
for longer.
Scented statement piece
The cherry on top of your
beautifully scented garden: a statement piece. The biggest and most beautiful
of the bunch, a statement piece in the garden is sure to grab all of the
attention. Which is why choosing the right plant is important! Wherever this
plant is positioned it will have people coming back for more of its sweet
scent.
The plant Dianthus Doris seems to be made for this
spot. Ideal for pots and containers, Dianthus Doris produces a beautiful pink
bloom which continues to flower from June right up to October. It is sure to
provide colour in your garden for many months each year.
Great smelling flowers only add to the fun of gardening. It's nice to have flowers that look good. But when you have flowers that also smell good it creates a whole new atmosphere in your garden. Whether you're weeding, watering or just admiring your hard work, you'll be able to take a deep breath and smell what you have successfully cultivated.
