Scented flowers

[KJessi]

Hi there, it's been ages since I last visited here. Too much goings ons.

Anyway, any recommendations for scented flowers? Perennials preferred, and evergreens, but all would be appreciated.

I've got jasmine climbers, and roses, sow some sweet peas if i remember in time, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to flowers. Was only interested in fruit and veg for the longest time.

I did buy some freesia bulbs, a packet of night scent (stock? Forgot the name. Picture showed blue flowers) seeds. From Home Bargains today. Yesterday! Insomnia so here i am now.

Hope you can help. Much appreciated!

And despite my username, I'm no longer in London. Up northwest now, outskirts of Liverpool. Btw, is there a way to change my username?

There are some lovely scented herbs: Rosemary, lavender and thyme spring to mind.

I love the scent of sweet peas. Eventually I did get organised enough to plant staggered sowings so that I got a long season. I also planted various scented climbing roses.

Thank you! I'll go hunt them down.

I get told to do staggered sowing and never seem to remember. It's actually made me think that this year, I'll put a whiteboard out there to jot down dates and fertiliser times etc.

And I'll contact admin. Don't know why I didn't think of it myself x

We've got a winter box (Sarcococca). The flowers themselves are somewhat insignificant but they smell beautiful, it's perennial & evergreen with small black berries in summer (which the birds are supposed to like but I've never seen them eat). Ours is right by the back door so that we get the benefit of the scent on trips to the recycle bin etc. (what with it flowering in winter). I'd describe the sent as quite sweet - very much like vanilla to my nose.
