Anyone else grow things just for their good-smelling foliage? For the first time this year I grew a rose-scented greanium and loved it. Want to get the chocolate one. I also love the mints but am terrified of getting too many b/c of their thuggishness. I grew something from seed that looked like a type of mint and it smelled of lemon. I don't remember the name- maybe lemon balm? Anyway I loved it and everytime I passed by I would rub the leaves and get intoxicated! I almost killed the poor thing- the leaves started dying- maybe b/c of the oil on my hands?
Don't everyone laugh all at once but I ADORE the smell of marigold foliage! I always have and I rub all over them like a cat on catnip- LOL!
I also love cleome but most people think it stinks. DH said it smelled faintly of skunk!
I had a huge clump of Powis Castle artemesia that I could not get enough of. It got too big for the spot it was in so the next year we moved it, but it died. I am determined to get more.
I guess I'm just weird huh?
