I'm planning to fill a bed just outside the back patio doors with
scented plants. It's south facing & about 5' x 10'. In height I'm
looking to a maximum of about 3', but mostly lower growing plants.
I'd like a mixture of shrub, perennial & some annuals & self-seeders.
Can anyone help me out, please, by adding to the list of possible
candidates:
pinks
lavender
nicotiana
evening primrose
night scented stock
lilies
???
wallflower - scent early in the year.
Sarcococca, Viburnum bodnantense for winter scent
Honeysuckle - not necessarily one of the climbers, could use one of the
shrub ones.
Syringa microphylla - a fairly small repeat flowering lilac.
daffodils
lily of the valley
You'll have to choose your favourites! - you won't get all that lot in.
Try to get a succession throughout the year - I have wallflower followed
by honeysuckle, Euphorbia mellifera, lavender, nicotiana.
