Pelargonium ‘Attar of Roses’ – You can probably guess what this plant smells of. The trick is to smell the leaves, not the flowers.
Nicotiana sylvestris – Don’t let its name put you off (it’s also known as the ‘tobacco plant’). This summer-flowering plant gives
off its musky scent in the evening, perfect for when you’re sitting out on a warm night.
Rosa ‘Madame Alfred Carrière’ – If you plant just one rose (and at least one is a must-have in a scent garden) make it a climber, like this cream-coloured, fruity-smelling one. Grown up the side of your house, you’ll be able to enjoy it at nose-height and when your windows are open.
