5. Jasmine
This woody plant makes a gorgeous bonsai and sets perfectly on a window sill. Each blossom has such a powerful scent that even a small jasmine plant can make multiple rooms smell amazing!
4. Lily of the Valley
The tiny bell-like blooms on these 9 inch tall plants emit a fragrance that is shockingly powerful. I was surprised that such a small flower could produce such an aroma! They are absolutely heavenly and little enough that they make a beautiful bouquet fit for a window sill.
Lily of the Valley is not only a treat for the nose but also a sight for sore eyes with its delicate, nodding white flowers that contrast beautifully with bright green leaves. Often associated with traditional cottages and fairy tales, these charmers thrive in shady spots and can bring a touch of woodland magic right into your home. Not only do they offer a sweet, potent perfume, but they're also steeped in symbolism, representing purity and the return of happiness. Perfect for those who appreciate a mix of olfactory indulgence and visual delight in their living spaces.
Frequently asked questions
3. Hyacinth
These flowers tend to emerge early in the spring. Right after the crocus have come and gone, the hyacinths begin to appear. Common colors seen include a deep purple, bright and light pink, and white. The large blooms are often placed at the end of short stems, so the bouquets tend to be very full. It only takes a few to make a nice centerpiece.
2. Daffodil
I love seeing a field full of yellow daffodils. Their magnificent fragrance fills the air for quite a distance. It only takes a few daffodils to fill a room with their scent. The cheery yellow color always brings a smile to my face as well.
1. Peony
With some of the largest and most fragrant blossoms around, a bouquet of peonies is sure to make your house smell amazing. There are white, red, yellow, and varying hues of pink peonies sold at most nurseries. They grow well in zones 3 thru 8 and produce tons of blooms. They do have a very short blooming period though.
