What aromatic flowers can I plant (in Georgia, US)?

This fall and next spring, I'm going to be planting a garden close to a screened-in porch, and I'd like to fill it with as many aromatic flowers as possible. Gardenias and Jasmine are my favorite scents, but I'm having a hard time thinking of others! Any ideas? The area covers everything from early morning sun/rest-of-the-day shade to full sun.



Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

There are so many that you can plant. A Yahoo search for "fragrant flowers" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 154,000 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.



Good luck with your search.

orange blossoms smell great-perhaps a small tree

lilacs-they are one of my favorites
Reply:OMG! You live in a perfect climate to grow anything, and have blossoms nearly 365 days - no wonder you're having a hard time deciding.



Try wisteria, it will be a lovely scent-blend with the jasmine. Ooo, then there's heliotrope and freesia (both good in pots) and sweet peas. The one that is a fav in your state is the bougainville (spelling is probably wrong). Of course, honeysuckles are fast growers and constant bloomers and hummingbirds love the orange and red varieties.



Mmmm can't you just smell them all.
Reply:I like lavender and rosemary (technically not fragrant flowers on the rosemary, but the foliage smells so wonderful...) Hyacinth smells great in the spring. Winter daphne (Daphne odora)

is a marvelously-scented winter blooming shrub...
Reply:Don't know if this fits into your definition but here in lower SC we have a "banana" (I don't know the proper name for it) shrub and it emits an aroma that duplicates that of a banana, It grows about 8' in height.
Reply:Star gazers smell very nice and you can smell them from several feet away
Reply:To my way of thinking , the most beautiful , aromatic and over-all the most beautiful flower is the rose. Soo many varieties to choose from.
Reply:I have grown the sweetest, most deliciously aromatic vine on my fence called Autumn Clemetis, who's name can be deceiving. It blooms in 60-90 degree weather and doesn't seem to have much to do with autumn here on Long Island. Here it blooms in Aug till frost. It may bloom year round for you in Georgia. It has tiny star shaped flowers with yellow centers. I catch people standing in front of my house just "breathing". I have been told more than once that my yard smells enchanting.
Reply:Plant lavender - there are many types - go to a big nursery and check them out (phone them first to make sure they carry some) - you'll also want to plant lilacs - the white French ones are the most fragrant - be sure to cut back about a quarter of the oldest, thickest ones each fall - and each spring, dissolve a cup of Epsom salts in a gallon of water and pour this equidistantly all around the base of the lilac bush. Both these make wonderful cut flowers, and you can easily dry lavender in your home. You might want to read Walt Whitman's lovely Civil War memorial poem - When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed."
