If you have limited space I would plant alyssum in late fall. It will last through Msy and is highly fragrant. In May I would plant flowering tobacco for summer scent. If you have the room to include an Orange jasmine it blooms frequently throughout the year. If you can go vertical, plant a confederate jasmine. You can't beat it's scent. There are other Jasmines available in nurseries and they're all wonderfully fragrant. A dwarf gardenia would also be appropriate in a small space.

I have discovered that lots of things grow faster and get way bigger than I thought they would and frequently have to rip them out. I live in a condo and can do a little gardening out front or rely on potted plants. I'm always looking for fragrant plants and the list is very helpful. I would love to try some of the perrenials but I don't want to plant something that will become out of control.Any suggestions?<br /><br />Bonnie <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953334291767946851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-85180390205547595092015-12-30T12:12:33.753-08:002015-12-30T12:12:33.753-08:00great ideas .. it's helpful . thank yougreat ideas .. it's helpful . thank youthings manhttp://my-favthings.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-51161338211915119252015-10-24T09:19:56.795-07:002015-10-24T09:19:56.795-07:00As a person moving from Southern California to Oca...As a person moving from Southern California to Ocala, I would like to comment. You are correct that the biggest problem causing Florida's water shortage is poor water management. The same holds true in California. There has not been a major water project in California for 30 years. Studies have shown that there is plenty of water in the state if projects are created to move it where it needs to go. Also there is no evidence that historic rainfall has decreased in either state. California and Florida have experienced welt dry cycles for centuries. Your state has had record rainfall this summer, and California should expect record rainfall this winter due to El NiƱo. Voters need to hold the states accountable for providing proper water infrastructure for our growing populations, not for changing the way we garden because of inaction at the state level.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921202322667057519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-44092523303143473712015-10-17T10:51:48.577-07:002015-10-17T10:51:48.577-07:00So amazing!
