Fragrant Plants for Pathways

These 12 plants make your stroll through the garden smell as good as it looks

by Danielle Ferguson

Most garden plants look good, but how many offer a scent as captivating as their

appearance? And how often do we actually detect a scent? A kind breeze sometimes brings

one to our notice, or we bury our face into flowers for a whiff. Make fragrance a daily delight

by lining a garden path with gorgeous, scented plants. The key is to use a variety that

releases its perfume at different times of the year. Imagine your garden rising and falling

through the seasons, with flowers, foliage, and scents ever changing. Youll find yourself

stopping to smell the garden every time you walk out the door, so you might want to kiss

punctuality good-bye.

Wisterias scent is as good as its looks

Wisteria sinensisand cvs.

USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9

Size: 28 feet high and indefinite width

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; fertile, well-drained soil

Wisterias fragrance is hard to describe; Id say that its between that of sweet pea and vanilla

jasmine. Its something people should experience on their own. Wisteria can grow over a

large arbor or be trained into a freestanding tree. It gets heavy, however, so if you place it on

a trellis, make sure that the trellis is a strong one. Thinning out wisteria at least twice a year is

required: once in late winter, and again after flowering to get rid of some of its leafy growth

and to secure a strong floral display. Leaf buds should be shortened to three to five buds on

each stem. Theyre farther apart on long vigorous growth than flower buds, which are fat and

close together on short flowering spurs.

Carol Mackie is the best of the fragrant daphnes

Daphne burkwoodiiCarol Mackie

Zones: 4 to 7

Size: Up to 4 feet tall and wide

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade;

humus-rich, well-drained (but never dry) soil

Daphnes are cherished for their intense

lemony aroma to which many other garden

scents are compared. Carol Mackie daphne

blooms in early spring and gives off an

especially strong fragrance, which might have

you buying 10 more with which to line the rest

of your path. Watering them can be a bit of a

juggling actwater just enough to prevent

the soil from drying out. Overwatering kills

daphnes. This is probably how they earned a

reputation for being difficult plants, but theyre

a dream once you get the watering under

plants mentioned in

this article:

Convallaria majalis

control.

Daphnes hardly ever need pruning. But if you feel that you absolutely must prune, cut back

only a few branches at a time. Because the plants are susceptible to fungal infection, cutting

only a handful of branches leaves fewer points through which infection might enter. Cut on a

dry morning, and apply fungicide afterward to lessen the risk of infection.

Lily-of-the-valley exhibits a fragrant Napoleon complex

Convallaria majalisand cvs.

Zones: 2 to 7

Size: 9 inches tall, spreading indefinitely

Conditions: Full sun to full shade;

humus-rich, moist soil

This little plant gives off a big-time fragrance.

Dont be duped by its short stature: You can

savor its scent even while walking by upright.Plant it under larger plants for a mat of the

sweetest-smelling ground cover around. One

bulb fills a 4-inch-square space in the first

season, but the plant will spread, over time,

by underground rhizomes. Four or five plants

will rapidly fill in to create a dense and

fragrant patch. Small red berries appear on

the plant in fall, when lily-of-the-valley should

be divided to maintain vigorous growth.

Theres no spring scent quite like that of Bridal Bouquet abelia

Abelia mosanensisMonia

Zones: 5 to 9

Size: 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; well-drained soil

Its strong fragrance can waft down 15 feet of path, so Bridal Bouquet abelia is the go-to

shrub for those looking for a fragrance factory. Its arching habit looks splendid in the middle

of a bed, where it blooms from late spring to early summer, with its lilac-scented pink buds

opening into tiny white trumpets. Red,

orange, and yellow leaves make up for its

loss of scent in fall. After letting Bridal

Bouquet establish for three or four years,

remove one-third of its oldest canes annually

after flowering to keep its size manageable.

Evergreen clematis will fill an arbor with its aroma

Clematisarmandii

Zones: 7 to 11

Size: Up to 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; fertile, well-drained soil

So youre after an aromatic climber. Look no further than evergreen clematis, which produces

vanilla-scented white flowers in midspring. Its leathery leaves hang down in a showy, dark

green cascade all year long. Its best to train evergreen clematis over an arbor or pergola so

that it can be enjoyed from within the structure. It grows slowly in its first couple of years, but

after that, Ive seen the vine take off and reach 30 feet tall in Zones 7 and 8. Prune evergreen

clematis after its flowers fade; it blooms on the tips of the previous seasons growth, so

pruning it later in the season will sacrifice the following years flowers.

Clerodendrum trichotomumPhoto/Illustration:

Harlequin glory bower is a plant of many perfumes

Clerodendrum trichotomum

Zones: 7 to 9

Size: 15 to 20 feet tall and wide

Conditions: Full sun; moist, well-drained soil

Clusters of creamy white flowers fill thecanopy of harlequin glory bower in early

summer and waft jasminelike up to 25 feet

away. But the scents dont stop there. If the

leaves are crushed, they release a peanut-

buttery smell, which is why the shrub is also

known as peanut butter bush. If that doesnt

make harlequin glory bower exotic enough,

its berries surely will. When spent flowers fall

away, a turquoise blue berry appears. Each

one is surrounded by red sepals, creating a

breathtaking display until they are eaten bybirds. Grow harlequin glory bower as a tree or

Michelle Gervaismultistemmed shrub. As a shrub, its outer

branches sometimes create a bower (hence,

the name). Youll also get more flowersand fragrancein the shrub form.

The aromas of Oriental lilies are as classic as an Austen novel

Liliumcvs.

Zones: 4 to 9Size: 1 to 6 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide

Conditions: Full sun; well-drained soil

When it comes to Oriental lilies, my motto is, The more, the better. Their scent is well known

and loved, and it is strongest in the afternoon when sunlight warms the flowers and gets their

fragrance going. Groups can be tucked into almost any spot along a path. Place them either

in the middle layer of the bed for height or right up at the edge to encourage passersby to

stick their nose into the glorious flowers. Some great lilies include Casa Blanca, which is the

best white variety; Star Gazer (pictured), a great cut flower for bouquets; and Conca dOr, a

beautiful yellow lilyand my absolute favorite.

Actaea simplex'Black Negligee'Photo/Illustration: Reggie Millette

Actaea simplexBlack Negligee

Zones: 4 to 8

Size: 4 to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide

Conditions: Partial shade; moist,

well-drained soil

Black Negligee actaea smells slightly fruitywith baby-powder overtones; that sounds

odd, but its really a pleasant scent. The

foliage is purplish black, lacy, and sexy. By

midsummer, tall wands are covered with

small white flowers. Plant Black Negligee at

a paths edge so that its exquisite leaves and

sweet scent can be appreciated. If the stems

are left to go to seed in fall, birds will perch

and peck away at them all winter long.

Chaste tree: a plain name for a seductively scented shrub

Vitex agnus-castusand cvs.

Zones: 6 to 9

Size: Up to 25 feet tall and wide

Conditions: Full sun; well-drained soil

Chaste tree is a large multistemmed shrub that blooms in early fall, perfect for adding scent

and color to a garden

bed as it comes down from its summer high. The soft blue flowers give off a sagelike

fragrance and resemble those of a butterfly bush or lilac. Chaste tree also makes a lovely

addition to fall bouquets. Because it blooms on current seasons wood, pruning should be

done in early spring and only if a specimen really needs downsizing. Dont let bare branches

trouble you in spring; chaste tree doesnt leaf out until early summer.

Viburnumx bodantense'Pink Dawn'

Pink Dawn viburnum has color and fragrance in winter

Viburnum bodnantensePink Dawn

Zones: 5 to 8

Size: Up to 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; moist,

well-drained soil

This plant blooms on bare branches, its

beautiful pink flower clusters appearing from

early to midwinter. Its spicy-yet-sweet

fragrance is a novelty in winter, when outdoor

scents are few and far between. In spring, its

leaves emerge burgundy with prominent

veins; they age to green in summer and wine

red in autumn. Pink Dawn viburnum really is

a plant for all seasons. Although it can

tolerate partial to full shade, it does best in full

sun; otherwise, its intense fall color will becompromised.
