Summer scent
Choose fabulously fragranced flowers to add an extra-special touch to your summer garden
Fragranced flowers
Scented plants can really help set the scene. They let you create ambience with blooms in the same way you would use candles and diffusers to evoke a mood in the house. Early mornings and balmy evenings are all the better if you’ve filled your patio pots and flowerbeds with intoxicating fragrance to add to the feel-good factor of being out in the garden. Don’t hide these magical plants away in a corner though. Instead, make them the star of the show.
They are particularly welcoming positioned near the path leading up to your front door or planted around the entrance so you can enjoy the fragrance every time you pass.
Or plant up a windowbox so you can make the most of the scent indoors as well – as the fragrance gently drifts in through an open window.
Scented plants really do help to transform a space into something quite wonderful and there’s a huge choice available.
Whether your preference is for something sweet like honey or vanilla, fresh and zesty such as lemon, or with spicy or musky notes, there’s sure to be a fragranced flower that’s set to become your favourite.
