Hi! I just joined DG about a week ago. My darling husband dug up part of his precious lawn so I could put in a fragrance garden. I won't know how successful I am until summer time. Right now it looks pretty barren. I have planted beared iris, garden phlox, lavender (looks rather sad right now), pinks, butterfly bushes, a primrose lilac (very small - will be years before I get blooms). Also, lots of oriental lilies (casa blancas, stargazers, yellow stargazers, white stargazers, dizzy, pink paramount, etc.) Veronica Sunny Border Blue, and the following roses: Margaret Merril, Betty Harkness, Welsh Gold, Darlow's Enigma, Tess of the D'Urbevilles, The Poet, Midnight Blue, minature roses Scentational, the clemantis, Betty Corning.
I have planted a "host of golden daffodils" and some especially fragrant ones, including: - Double Poet's Daffodil and Thalia.
Any suggestions, etc. would be very welcome. My zone is 6. I have included a "before" picture - in anticipation I can offer something more interesting this summer :-) The new garden is along the wooden fence to the back yard and along the back fence.
