Fragrant Garden: Ornamental Shrubs
Already in May, the flowering of fruit trees is replaced by the flowering of ornamental shrubs.

Lilac always looks beautiful on the site. It is chosen for its practical side, because different varieties have a different smell, as well as color and flowering period. If you take the Amur or Hungarian, then their flowering is observed later than others. Therefore, the wonderful scent will fill your garden for much longer. And lovers of rich and bright smells will definitely like Persian lilac.
Rosehip blooms at about the same period. Roses of Thongleaf have a very rich scent, while Wrinkled roses have a mild and soft scent. These varieties only smell of buds, while Rusty or Fragrant ones also have leaves. In order to fill a large area with smells, shrubs are planted on the site with a hedge.
Fragrant garden: perennial and annual flowers
Daffodils bloom at the same time as lilacs. But not everyone likes its aroma because of its specific harshness. But if they grow in composition with other plants, then they look quite harmonious.
And honeysuckle (Caprifol) blooming in June can decorate a veranda, fence or gazebo. With its peculiarity to wrap around any support, it will decorate your site and give a delicate aroma that sets you up for relaxation. Each honeysuckle flower blooms for several days, but due to their total large number, they begin to bloom in turn. Therefore, Caprifoli blooms throughout June.

Only a few buds can exude such a bright aroma. You can also choose the variety Species. It blooms at the same time as Arboreal, but unlike it does not have such a strong saturated aroma. Herbaceous peonies round out the top three.

Further, clematis takes over flowering. It blooms very interestingly (about 3 weeks). The buds resemble white stars. Its aroma is very fragrant and can fill a large area. For a variety of colors, 2-3 varieties can also be planted.
Lilies bloom together with clematis. But it is worth considering the different varieties in advance in order to choose the right one for you. This is due to the fact that they have a very rather unusual aroma that few people like. And from annual flowers, you can choose, for example, the following:
1. petunia, phacelia, musky cornflower or mignonette. They bloom in July if they were sown in spring;
2. marigolds - best planted all over the place for pest control.Nasturtium and Shabo cloves have a versatile mild aroma;
3. Aspera is blue. Its scent is like lavender, just as delicate. Brachycoma Iberis-leaved is distinguished by lush flowering. Its blue and white flowers look like daisies;
4.Arabic cladantus. It has yellow flowers, attractive and beautiful leaves.
5.Chinese forget-me-not, jaundice, leia graceful, didiscus blue, etc. The choice is very large.
