Gardener checklist for fragrant plants and blooms
Gardener's tips suggest planting fragrant options like dwarf citrus, bougainvillea, daphne, geraniums, roses, star jasmine and lilacs. Azaleas suit shady corners with many varieties. Prune spring flowering trees after bloom. Debud roses to encourage specimen blooms, leaving terminal buds. Plant tuberous begonias in shade.
