Heaven Scent
TO P 1 0 F R A G R A N T P L A N TS TO A D D TO YO U R G A R D E N When planning your garden’s annual performance, you take note of color, texture or shape, but the most overlooked player might be fragrance. This oft-forgotten character adds an unseen, but much appreciated, layer of enjoyment to your outdoor space. Strategically placed flowers or herbs will give you a reason to pause and enjoy your garden. Place them near seating areas where you will rest or near windows to perfume the air in your home with every breeze. But be warned, you can go overboard here. Some plants -- such as evening primrose, moonflower vine, angel’s trumpet and August lily — will “awaken” in the moonlight, so keep that in mind. And I’ve heard some homeowners complain of flowers being too fragrant, especially when they’re trying to sleep. Generally speaking, deciding which fragrances you prefer is a very personal decision, so to start you on the journey, here are 10 of my favorite fragrant flowers and herbs for the garden.
