Something fragrant to add to my garden that will bloom in the fall?
Question:I'm looking to round out my garden with something frangrant that will bloom in the fall (besides roses). The more fragrant the better. I live in Northern California, zone ~9ish.
Answers:
You might consider these:
Clematis terniflora "Sweet Autumn". Fall flowering vine (gets big).
Hedychium thyrsiforme (a type of Ginger Lily). Fall bloom, mildly fragrant, winter-dormant.
Salvia coccinea 'Lady in Red' (Scarlet Sage). Compact. Blooms late into the fall.
Lycoris chinensis. Fall blooming, beautiful gold.
Crocus sp. There are many fall-blooming cultivars.
Here are some lists of fall blooming plants:
