JAKARTA – When you imagine a garden, in addition to what plants are planted, there is also an aroma that glows from the green area. A number of plants with scented flowers can be easily grown and cared for.

Reported by CountryLiving, Tuesday, February 22, parks are not just about sight. According to Boyce Tankersley, director of living plant documentation at the Chicago Botanic Garden, scents can add richness to a landscape.

You don't need to have a large area of land to enrich your gardening experience, but you definitely need to consider what plants can give you a complete experience when sitting around the house. Here are recommendations for types of plants that can emit a fragrant aroma around the garden in your home.

1. Magnolia

This plant with dark green leaves and white flowers is one of the plants that emits a delicious aroma. The sweet flowers will bloom throughout the season, depending on the variety.

Magnolia plants can be planted in places that get full sun. But make sure they have room to grow.

2. Gardenia

This plant not only smells good, but also helps repel mosquitoes. Fragrant bushes can glow around spring to early summer. Then it can bloom again in late summer to early fall.

Gardenia thrives when planted in moist soil. But make sure the soil is not always wet because it can make the roots rot.

3. Roses

Tankersley said every garden should have at least one type of rose. The reason is, this beautiful flower plant is not fussy and resistant to disease and insects. Order Tankersley, read the seed label to make sure the plant smells good. Then it can be cultured after blooming in a place that gets full sun.

4. Peonies

Peonies love full sun, says Tankersley. Even if ants are infested, they are not pests. These insects only live on nectar. Tankersley's advice, don't plant too deep or they won't flower.

5. Alyssum

In one stalk, the alyssum plant with the scientific name Lobularia maritima, will flower more than one. This small annual flower can be grown in a box pot. Placed in a hanging basket or on the ground does not reduce the beauty of the flowers. Fun again, the flowers emit a sweet aroma.
