I've just planted 2 shrubs with strong perfume:
Bouvardia Humboldtii. &
Chimonanthus Praecox (Winter Sweet)
The winter Sweet flowers late winter just before the leaves come out.
These both have a love perfume.
Check them out to see how they grow in your area.
The Bouvardia like a semi shady area but the winter sweet will grow in
full sun.

Cheers and good luck.

Hi!
You say:-

My wife is blind and I want to create a garden using fragrant plants. We
have a gardenia and a couple of roses. Oleander are also good although the
sap is poisonous. Daphne is another goody. The other requirement is the
plants must be water frugal. Any other suggestions? Maybe some web pages

we

could look at?

I think that Wormwood and Rue are great for your purpose. For flowers
Cestrum nocturnum and white angels trumpet fit the bill, but could be
poisonous, or weeds, depending where you live.Citrus blossom can be really
heady, but has the advantage of producing fruit afterwards.
