Scented Plants

Scented plants are species valued for their fragrant flowers, leaves, or stems, which add sensory appeal to gardens and outdoor spaces. Examples include lavender, gardenia, and jasmine. These plants are often used in sensory gardens, near walkways, or close to seating areas where their fragrance can be fully appreciated. Scented plants can create a welcoming atmosphere, enhance relaxation, and even repel certain pests. When incorporating scented plants into a landscape, it's important to consider the timing and intensity of their fragrance, as well as how they will interact with other elements in the garden. These plants may require specific growing conditions, such as well-drained soil or full sun, to thrive and produce their characteristic scents. Regular pruning and deadheading can help maintain their vigor and prolong their blooming period.
