What are your favourite scented plants?
I love the scent of various flowers, and would like to get lots more - so i was wondering what are your favourites and why? and what do they smell of?
any tips for "using" the scent? for example, which ones can u cut and keep in your draws/cupboards to keep them smelling fresh etc etc ?
personally, im a big fan of night scented stocks, they smell so sweeeet and from such small dainty flowers

Honeysuckles for me. Winter flowering or the summer varieties. A heady scent on a warm summers evening. Or a scent on a cold winters day. I grow lots of scented plants but they are hard to beat. Love sweet peas too.
Honeysuckle for me too, and Sweet Rocket, another that casts its scent on warm evening air and smells like a cross between night scented stocks and parma violet sweets.
And on a sunny winter's day, the scent of Sweet Box is magical

Fritillaria imperialis, crown imperials. I like to sniff the bulbs.
and Phuopsis stylosa, the smell of the foliage, similar type of smell.
and honeysuckle, sarcococca, daphne,
lots of stuff but not philadelphus or privet

@hollyhock - i grew some last year and hung them on the wall outside at head height and would go out every night especially to give them a whiff!
i also love the fragrance from Lemon Verbena leaves, so fresh and lemony!
i have space for a climber so ill look into honeysuckle i think
Oh, and I've just remembered the wonderful smell you get when you bury your face in a bunch of lilac blooms
Nut, I like the smell of Fritillaria imperialis too

ive heard great things about Daphne but they always seem to be rather expensive (£25+)
