Default fragrant flowers for shade or semi-shade?
said:

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?

I would also recommend looking into scented hosta varieties.

My hosta 'Royal Standard' is coming into bloom and has a simply
*amazing* scent. My 'Guacamole' was planted this year and hasn't
bloomed, but it should be fragrant, too.
