Hello,

I have a lot of shade. That immediately limits my choice of what will
grow. On the other hand, having old maples is a blessing.

Anyway, what flowers will grow in shade or semi-shade AND have a
pleasing aroma?

(This is planning ahead for next year. Now is not planting time.)

Thank you for all suggestions.
