If you're a yard and garden enthusiast, you probably have flowers somewhere in your outdoor space. People plant flowers for their beauty, but you also can choose blooms for their unique fragrance to liven up the landscape.Fragrance is an interaction between volatile chemicals produced by the flower that evaporate into the air. Some flower varieties have a much stronger and more distinctive scent than others. When planting flowers for their fragrance, don't overdo it. This is especially true for plantings close to your patio or deck, where one or two peony bushes may be delightful while a row of them could be overwhelming. With fragrant plants, just like with perfume, a little goes a long way especially in an area enclosed by shrubs, trees or other landscape additions.You may also want to plant highly scented flowers several feet apart, if not on opposite sides of your flowerbed or yard. Fragrances can clash if two varieties bloom at the same time in close proximity - such as peonies and lilacs.Here are some flowers and flowering bushes to consider as you make our scented selections:
