Perfect Perennials for Scent

perfect perennials for scent

gardenia jasminoides 'kleims hardy'

One by one, the pretty spiral flowers come out above their glossy, dark green leaves to fill their corner with scent. You see these in pots all over Greece, where I have fallen in love with them. This is a new and hardier variety.

lavandula stoechas 'javelin forte white'

All blue, (with a sprinkling of mauve) we had this combination in our annual cutting garden dolly tubs looking good from June with the anagallis, and the salvias carrying the colour baton right through until winter. 

phlox 'clouds of perfume'

This compact phlox is one of my favourite perennials for a sunny spring border or container. It has delicious scent and clouds of long-lasting flowers. 

choisya 'white dazzler'

An excellent aromatic evergreen shrub, which is covered in scented white flowers in spring and again in late summer. I pick this all the time.

daphne 'perfume princess'

An outstandingly long-flowering, incredibly pretty, low maintenance container combination. This collection excelled in our 2016 summer trial and was continually busy with butterflies and bees.
