Utilization of Fragrant Flowers in Landscaping
At first, you might find it strange to talk about flowers that have a bad smell. Doesn’t the blossom represent a nice smell? Although many flowers smell bad in hotter areas of the world, these are the ones that gardeners in colder regions are more likely to come across. These examples listed below don’t smell as bad as the extremely smelly “corpse plant” of Sumatra or its smaller relative, the snake lily. But you are more likely to come across these examples in your everyday life. Here are some of the suggested plants you should be aware of according to a landscaping contractor.
Yellow Alyssum
When you hear the word “alyssum”, you might think of a white plant called sweet alyssum that is commonly used to decorate garden beds. The reason why the plant is called “sweet” is because it has a pleasant smell. The yellow alyssum is a plant that has yellow flowers that don’t smell good, and it grows back every year. This can also be used in landscaping to cover the ground.
Mountain Ash Trees
Are you trying to make your landscape look good all year round? If yes, then you should consider using mountain ash trees in your landscaping. These trees have three special qualities that can be seen during three different seasons. But the flowers that smell bad in the spring are only meant to be seen and not smelled (don’t bring your nose close to them).
Butterfly Bush
Maybe only a few butterfly bush shrubs have flowers that smell bad, but people usually grow these plants for reasons other than their smell. Butterflies really like Buddleia because it smells good to them. Regardless of its attractiveness to butterflies, it is not advised to use butterfly bushes in your landscaping without considering their impact. This bush can be a harmful plant in certain places. Discover how it acts in your area before developing strong feelings for it.
