Fragrant Perennial Plants

Why settle for a garden that only looks beautiful when it can smell divine, too? Our fragrant perennials will add an extra dimension to your outdoor space, turning a simple walk through the garden into a full sensory experience. From the honey-sweet notes of a midsummer afternoon to the spicy, clove-like scents that drift on a cool evening breeze, these plants are nature's own aromatherapy. Strategically placed near a patio, a garden bench, or along a frequent walkway, these perennials release their perfumes every time you pass by.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
