Scented Plants

Scented Plants
Scented plants can often merit this description not just because of their flowers but also because of their strongly aromatic foliage. Scented plants can be grown together to test and stimulate the senses especially of those with impaired vision. Alternatively some scented plants are best appreciated if grown up the walls of a house or, if they are pot grown, others can briefly be brought indoors to scent the house. Many of the most scented plants are however best suited to the conservatory or greenhouse.

This list is by no means exhaustive and covers just those scented plants which, in our opinion, have the greatest appeal. Our full plant list can be found by using the a-z on the right hand menu or using the keyword search top right, if you need something specific.
