Flowering plants are a true enrichment of the garden or balcony. But in addition to their ornamental value, they sometimes have another plus: a nice scent. We have listed 11 wonderfully fragrant garden plants from the rich offer.
Wisteria (Wisteria)
The blue bunches of wisteria flowers are a delight to the eye, but also to the nose. To do this, the climber must first blossom and that is not always self-evident. In a previous article we tell you what to look out for.
Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) and Tuscan Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
Jasmine scent is used in many perfumes for a reason. It is a favorite of many. You can also enjoy it in the garden. First of the common jasmine, the Jasminum officinale. But the Tuscan jasmine also spreads a wonderful scent in the summer, making both fragrant garden plants an asset to the garden.

Pronkerwt (Lathyrus odoratus)
The sweet pea, also called sweet pea, has odoratus in its Latin name for a reason. The climbing plant has an intense, delicious scent. It is an easy annual bloomer that grows well from seed and is available in a wide range of colours. So something for everyone.
Roses
Not all modern roses still smell as strong, but historical and English roses all the more. According to Gardeners World Magzine you are in the right place with the shrub rose Rosa ‘Boscobel’, the classic English shrub rose Rosa ‘Getrude Jekyll’ and historic rose Rosa ‘Charles de Mills’.
Syringa (Syringa)
It is not for nothing that the lilac is used for floral perfumes. Its special, sweet scent is also a blessing for the garden. In addition to its scent, it is loved for its beautiful clusters of flowers in white, pink, lilac or blue.
Sneeuwbal (Viburnum farreri)
Several snowball scents, but our favorite is Viburnum farreri. This snowball variety already blooms during the winter months and has a wonderful scent, which is especially desirable during the cold months, because it already gives a taste of spring.
Witch hazel (Hamamelis)
Another winter bloomer with a wonderful scent is the witch hazel. When almost nothing else brings color and fragrance to nature, it is there with its spectacular bright yellow, red or orange flowers on its otherwise bare branches.
Vlambloem (Phlox)
The flame flower should actually be called fragrance flower. This grateful summer bloomer has a rich scent and will spoil you all summer long with its beautiful flowers. It is also very suitable as a cut flower, so if you plant enough of them you can also keep them indoors in a vase and enjoy them on a rainy day.
