Fragrant perennials.
 

Hi,

We have recently put in a spa in what used to be a larger flower bed. We
still have some of the flower bed left and would like to put in some
flowering scented perennials next to the spa. We would of course want
plants that aren't "messy" dropping a lot of leaves and flowers into the
spa. Also, since the spa is about 32 inches tall the plants shouldn't be
too small. The bed is facing west-south-west and mostly has afternoon sun.
The bed is about 6 x 6 ft. We live north of Austin in Round Rock.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would say to have at least one rosemary plant, some lemon verbena,
a new 4 o'clock called 'Limelight,' for a start.

Although petunias aren't perennials they produce quite a scent in
groups. They are also a bit hardier than most people think so they will
last into the fall. Right now they are struggling with the heat and sun
but my yard stunk purty in May and June.
