Default Jasmine

does anyone know where i can buy white fragrant jasmine have been looking for ages and can not seem to find any, i am wanting to put it behind a bench so when we sit down it gives off a sweet smell.What do you think good idea or not? Plus it should bring in some more flutterbys and other insects, do you have any ideas if jasmine isnt a good one? I need something nice and smelly maybe scented freesias in pots.

I've got a lovely fragrant jasmine in my garden, it was one we bought as an indoor plant years ago, and hardened it off. It survived being dug up when we moved. Alls I do is cut it down to ground level each year and it comes back up again. If you're looking for scent, what about stocks? You can also get scented honeysuckles if you're after climbers.

It might be sold as Summer Jasmine (as agains Winter Jasmine which flowers yellow). We had one over a rose arch at our old house. Gorgeous scent. We got it at a garden centre - not a particularly posh one.
