Night-scented varieties are essential for creating a tranquil atmosphere in your garden. Plus, they provide vital nutrients for nocturnal pollinators such as moths

trachelospermum jasminoides

One of the strongest perfumed flowers in my garden. An evergreen which is reliably hardy in Sussex. I have had it growing on the Oast now for 20 years

lilies

Among the superstars of the summer garden. Often headily fragrant and quite heart-stoppingly beautiful. On summer evenings their scent can be ravishing and the paler-hued lilies appear to glow as darkness falls.

honeysuckle

Intensely fragranced flowers on twining vines and is a classic cottage garden plant. Our range includes vigorous varieties that are quick to establish and grow as well as more compact forms that are suitable for smaller gardens

nicotiana

These are very long-flowering, half-hardy annuals and many have a lovely evening scent; bees and butterflies love them. This moth-pollinated family grows well in sun or dappled shade
