Scented Shrubs

Scented shrubs are woody plants that produce fragrant flowers, leaves, or bark, adding sensory appeal to the garden. Examples include lilacs, gardenias, and mock orange. These shrubs are often used in sensory gardens, near patios, or along walkways where their fragrance can be fully appreciated. Scented shrubs provide seasonal interest with their blooms, as well as year-round structure in the landscape. When selecting scented shrubs, it’s important to consider their bloom time, fragrance intensity, and environmental requirements to ensure they will thrive in the chosen location. Proper care, including regular watering, pruning, and fertilization, helps maintain their health and encourages prolific flowering. Scented shrubs add a multi-sensory experience to the garden, enhancing its beauty and atmosphere with their delightful aromas.
