10 scented flowers for the garden

As much as the beauty of the blooms, the scent is crucial in a garden. Awaken your senses all year long with our selection of intoxicatingly fragrant plants.

Mahonia

Mahonia: With its golden winter blooms, mahonia perfumes the garden with the scent of lily of the valley at the time it is most needed. Hardy, withstanding both wind and pollution, this shrub is a 'must have' in the garden.

Narcissus


Narcissus : bulbous plant with a strong perfume, it comes in many varieties with single or double flowers in bright colors. Some of them are very early and perfume the garden from February.

Camellia


Camellia: appreciating acidic soils, it can be used in groves as well as in beds or pots. Gloire de Nantes' has large, bright pink flowers that are very fragrant in winter, and you can prolong the scent with 'Kramer's Supreme' with its magnificent scarlet flowers in mid-season.

The rose


The rose: in the land of perfumes, it has no equal. Splendid in its bushy version or exuberant when it is climbing, the rose finds its place in all gardens without exception. Powerful effluvia in 'Bolshoi', intense and fruity in 'Charles de Gaulle' or intoxicating in 'Papa Meilland', you are bound to find the rose that suits your nose!

Honeysuckle


Honeysuckle: powerful and sometimes heady, its fragrance perfumes the garden from May to September. Climbing, it can be the ideal ornament for a fence or even a pergola, but always close to the house to fully enjoy it.

Jasmine


Jasmine: incomparable in terms of scent, it perfumes your summer with its strong fragrance. Cultivated in pots in the cooler regions, it will find its place in the ground in a patio or along a facade in southern gardens.

Magnolia


Magnolia: shrub or tree (depending on the species), it displays incredibly beautiful and often very fragrant flowers. As an isolated subject, or even in a compound hedge, it always makes an impact. For an unforgettable fragrance, choose the 'Exmouth' or 'Heaven Scent' varieties.

Lavender


Lavender: we no longer need to introduce it because of its characteristic and powerful perfume. Its spikes of bluish flowers attract pollinating insects to your garden; one more reason to adopt it!

Wisteria


Wisteria: graphic, vigorous, deliciously fragrant, this climber has many assets. It is the ideal subject to decorate a pergola with its blue or white drooping bunches.

The night beauty


The night beauty: plant deploying its delicate perfume as soon as the evening falls, it is very easy to cultivate and is declined in numerous hybrids with the bloom in very colored trumpets, sometimes even variegated or spotted. Ideal in a bed, it also likes to be potted on a terrace or a balcony.
