Hi all

I have been wondering about this:
are there any plants or flowers that are grown not for their looks, but
for their scent?
( Imagine 'Cytisus scoparius + broom as a long-flowering potted plant )

Greetings


Definately! Hyacinths are my favorite. I planted over 100 new ones
last fall and they are just starting to poke their heads up. They will
be booming in another few weeks.

I also grow a lot of Lilies but some neighbors say that they don't like
their smell. I like the smell of Stargazer and the flowers are really
beautiful.

Some my other fragrant favorites are Lavender, Peonies, and Carnations.
