FRAGRANCE - Get that
smell into your garden! |
|
When considering buying
flowerbulbs and perennials, remember that some of them have an
added value - FRAGRANCE! Ideally, each garden should have
one or two types flowering at different times of the year.
Keep in mind that it is not always the flower that is the scented
part; sometimes it can also be the foliage that is aromatic.
Plant some scented climbers such as jasmine or wisteria close by a
window that you open in the summer and enjoy it's smell all
through the house. Following is a selection of flowerbulbs and
perennials that have the added benefit of fragrance: |

Pay very close attention to plant labels when shopping...they
not only give important planting and growing information, but
also indicate whether the item is an annual (lasting only for
that growing season) or a perennial (returns year after year
with proper maintenance). If your tip is being used in our
newsletter, you will receive a $10.00 gift certificate also
redeemable for any items in our catalogs! Email
us your tip today!
