fragrant flowers for shade or semi-shade?
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.

I used to love it when the animals would brush against all that greenery -- topped with purple flowers, of course -- and the various smells of mint would linger in the air for a very long time. And I'm not sure (someone double check me on this) but isn't Verbena quite fragrant and shade loving? |

Patchouli; jasmine; some orchids; allspice bush, there are some geraniums
that are scented also; that's what I can think of off the top of my head! -- gloria - only the iguanas know for sure |
