A garden is not only a kingdom of bright colors and variety of shapes, but also a magical accumulation of a wide variety of aromas that envelop us in the lightest cloud of subtle nuances with every walk or enchant us in freshly cut bouquets. When mentioned aromatic plants Many people first of all remember roses and charming flowerbed flowers, and the most traditional shrubs - lilac, jasmine, mock orange. Meanwhile, among the trees and shrubs, many can boast of a unique aroma that is noticeable even from a distance. Shrubs and trees with the most fragrant flowers wrap the entire garden in a charming cloud. And it's not just about spring bloom: among the largest garden inhabitants there are many plants that can boast a strong aroma, but at the same time bloom at the most different times of the year. And if you want to make your garden not only blooming, but also filled with notes of enchanting odors, a kind of fragrant kingdom, pay attention to the best fragrant shrubs and trees, many of which are also very original.
Splendor fragrant shrubs starts long before the “official” start garden season. Of course, in those countries where severe frosts prevent winter flowering, amazing shrubs produce flowers only in February - March, but in other regions they can be enjoyed already against the backdrop of the first snow. Among the winter-flowering shrubs, which can only be found in regions with mild climates, the magnificent December witch hazel stands out for its elegant fragrance. Like a magical vision, its delicate filigree flowers densely dot the bush, exuding an almond aroma and filling the garden with the crackling of seed pods. To replace it, with the approach of spring, the wolfberry tree, reminiscent of lilac in smell, but not at all similar in appearance, blooms, decorating February with its bright branches. In regions with harsh winters, both shrubs bloom much later; in particular, wolfberry blooms only in April.
Following the most fragrant “winter” shrubs, a real parade of spring aromas begins. The unique intoxicating smells of spring reveal all the richness of the palette of nuances and halftones. Charming corylopsis, Japanese skimmia and antipka bird cherry enchant with a sweet, light scent, mahonia and willow with honey-like viscous aromas, and decorative viburnum with vanilla aromas. Mahonia, if the end of winter is very mild, can bloom as early as February, attracting early bees with its amazing lily of the valley aroma. In spring, in the garden you can find an aroma of any intensity, because to the main tone of the most fragrant crops is added the no less sweet, albeit not so original, flowering of fruit bushes.
At the beginning of summer, honey aromas become even more intense thanks to the exotic flowering of honeysuckle, the sweetish-luscious tone of mock orange, the tart notes of decorative cherries and the completely irresistible fragrance of chimonanthus and calicanthus. The legendary honeysuckle with its thick honey smell reveals its full aroma only after sunset. Charming beautiful flowers, it also attracts nocturnal insects en masse, so it is better not to plant honeysuckle too close to evening rest areas. Mock orange is very similar in appearance and smell to jasmine, but unlike the original crop, it is winter-hardy. On windless, quiet days, the original aroma of calicanthus instantly attracts attention. But the thickest scents among trees and shrubs can perhaps be offered by June lilacs and Chinese wisteria. With the arrival of July, completely different plants appear on the garden scene: tart and very fragrant buddleias and wintergreens, karyopteris, gradually giving way to the almond tones of clematis, the sweet, haunting smell of hydrangeas and the very rich aroma of cletra. If you prefer spicy shades of aromas, then pay attention to the Mediterranean beauty Buddleia, whose long clusters of inflorescences attract flocks of butterflies. Among the fruity notes in any garden, Japanese Quince stands out with its richness. And numerous rhododendrons can make their fragrant contribution to big picture fragrant garden. Some of the most fragrant shrubs are representatives of the Viburnum genus. Many of them smell very unusual; in particular, Viburnum fragrant has an almost almond aroma. In regions with warm climates, it blooms only in November, reaching its peak flowering in March and April.
They are not always fragrant flowering shrubs and trees. In many plants, the aroma is emitted not by inflorescences or fruits, but by leaves. Such unique crops include karyopteris, St. John's wort, wintergreen and even boxwood. The most striking of the smells will be offered to its owners by the charming scarlet plant, which is valued primarily for the unique changes in the bright color of the foliage. In autumn, this shrub is enveloped in a cloud of subtle aroma, reminiscent of a large pastry shop with the smell of fresh baked goods.
The 15 shrubs and trees with the strongest odor include:
– witch hazel is a three-meter giant blooming from January to March with yellow-orange flowers and an almond aroma;
– Mahonia bealei, blooming from February to April, with a lily of the valley scent, up to 2 meters high;

Like other flowering crops, fragrant shrubs and trees reveal their aroma more fully not during the day, but in the early morning or late evening. It’s no coincidence that essential oils Jasmine petals or lavender are collected only in the pre-dawn hours. If you want to fully enjoy the aroma of the bushes, take a walk through the evening garden.
Selecting fragrant shrubs and trees so that they fill the garden with aromas all year round is quite simple. Of course, to do this, you should take into account individual intolerance to certain odors, your tastes, climatic conditions and the flowering time of each shrub. So that the garden is always filled strong aromas, plants should be selected so that they bloom alternately, picking up each other’s aromas. Be sure to take into account the plants’ requirements for light and soil characteristics. When choosing a planting site, keep in mind that in order to fully enjoy their aroma, it is better to place fragrant crops near recreation areas, paths, terraces, and gazebos. But do not place two fragrant plants next to each other: their aromas, intertwining, will create a thick, heavy aroma. Be sure to plant one less fragrant plant for each fragrant plant.

Firstly, the plants discussed below exude bad smell decomposition, putrefaction or excrement. The target "audience" of these flowers are flies, dung beetles and other insects with a perverted sense of beauty.

This is probably why its other names are star cactus, starfish, large toad flower, etc. In Stapelia gigantea, flowers reach about 40 cm in diameter, and the greater the stench they emit - the smell of decaying flesh is so popular with flies, larvae and beetles that they crawl right into the center of the plant, where the reproductive organs are located.

While spreading the suffocating smell of death around itself, it attracts small pollinators. The beetle crawls into the very epicenter of the “aroma” through the cracks between the petals, pollinates the plant, looks for food or lays eggs.
Meanwhile, the plant itself feeds from the roots, which go deep into the soil, clinging to other people's roots. The ground part of this plant can be conditionally called a flower; in fact, it is a calyx with a rough outer surface sand color.

Polite Englishmen call the aroma emanating from plants “bad fish,” but in reality it is simply impossible to describe it in words.

At this time, the cob itself warms up to 40 C from the inside, this is also necessary to attract pollinators and more. Usually, the ceremonial flowering of the giant occurs in front of a crowd of tourists coming from all over the globe.

A climbing plant with dense greenery, oval leaves and a stinking flower. Large-flowered Aristolochia has flowers about 20 cm in diameter and 50-60 cm long, exuding a strong carrion smell, which insects really like. The flowers themselves “have a secret”: when a fly decides to get out of a flower, having eaten nectar, the fibers covering the surface of the calyx prevent them from getting out. The insect flounders for a long time until it pollinates the aristocholia. The villi wither under the influence of pollen, and the fly moves on. The flowers themselves look very impressive against the background of dark green foliage - regular heart-shaped and dark burgundy color with white veins, so the plant often serves as a landscape decoration.
