Does it need to grow in the house or are you talking about hanging bunches
of dried (or fresh) herbage about?

Smell and taste are very subjective judgements. What kind of smell do you
want? Do you want some specific type of aroma or just anything strong
enough to cover the reek of the cat's tray or the used bong on the coffee
table?

Lilac bush, outside, under your opened fine screened window, nice weather
only.
Could try Orchids for indoors, good luck keeping them alive. Expensive cut
flowers.

For winter, not exactly in garden category, but I like the smell of fresh
baked bread.
Chocolate Chip cookies a good second... Homemade apple pie...

One thing about nice smelling plants... They attract bugs. Even indoors.
Keep a nice supply of indoor bug spray.

try one of these, Honeysuckle

Try Winter flowering Honeysuckle. Great for outside or cut flowering sprigs in the winter - will fill the room with scent. Good for bees (outside!!) because it flowers when not much else is!!

Summer Jasmine - beautiful tiny white flowers with a delightful aroma but - plant it in a pot on solid ground. Mine was in the ground and it took over!! Thus the Jungle girl user name!! It can be grown indoors too!

I hope it helps!

We used to grow scented geraniums outside but did not bring them in.
They come in a myriad of scents.

Actually they come in myriad scents... there is NEVER "of" after
myriad.

Oh? Lost in particulars you are Shelly.


myriad |?mir??d| poetic/literary
noun
1 a countless or extremely great number : networks connecting a myriad
of computers.
2 (chiefly in classical history) a unit of ten thousand.
adjective
countless or extremely great in number : the myriad lights of the city.
? having countless or very many elements or aspects : the myriad
political scene.
ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (sense 2 of the noun) : via late Latin from Greek
murias, muriad-, from murioi '10,000.'
USAGE Myriad is derived from a Greek noun and adjective meaning 'ten
thousand'. It was first used in English as a noun in reference to a
great but indefinite number. The adjectival sense of 'countless,
innumerable' appeared much later. In modern English, use of myriad as a
noun and adjective are equally standard and correct, despite the fact
that some traditionalists consider the adjective as the only acceptable
use of the word.

Hmmm. Wrong again, eh Shelly? 'Atta boy. It's good to know that you are
consistent, but you should probably go back to mangling grapevines.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad
In English, the term "myriad" is most commonly used to refer to a large
number of an unspecified size. In this way "myriad" can be used as
either a noun or an adjective.[1] Thus both "there are myriad people
outside" and "there is a myriad of people outside" are correct.

You know you are desperate to grouch at somebody when you pick on a stranger
over a fine point of grammar and get it wrong.

I suggest you get a large plastic cat and kick that around your house.

Yes, I too would opt for a white Jasmine indoors but make sure its, Jasminum polyanthemum and not J. officinale. the former is much more scented and is evergreen. You dont say where you live, which would determine what would grow outside . If its a well lit place indoors, you could try another climber with very waxy evergreen foliage and scented white flowers, either Trachelospermum asiaticum or, if you can get it T. jasminoides.
hope this helps, best wishes, Lannerman

If you want to use obsolete form go right ahead... only a transvestite
freak hyphenates their name. Who's yer daddy... you haven't a clue.
