gardenia
Because of its beautiful flowers and its bewitching scent, the gardenia is popular as the queen of Fragrant plants designated. The Bochum doctor Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Hanns Hatt was able to prove that gardenia oil has a calming and anti-anxiety effect. He thus provided evidence that aromatherapy actually works. Unfortunately, gardenias are not frost hardy and have to be overwintered indoors in our part of the world.
lily of the valley
The small, bell-shaped flowers of the Lily of the valley spread an aromatic, feminine scent in spring. Its flowery, elegant smell, paired with the delicate look, inspired poets to write their most beautiful works.
Chocolate cosmos
Do you love chocolate? Then this is the perfect fragrant plant for you, because in warm summer weather the attractive dark red colored flowers of the cosmos exude an intense dark aroma.
Aromatic herbs
Typical Mediterranean fragrances can be sniffed in the vicinity of aromatic herbs such as thyme, sage or oregano. Peppermint, which is available in a multitude of different varieties, should also not be missing in any scented garden. Give the herbs a warm, windless place, because this is where the essential oils, which are responsible for the fragrance and flavor, develop best.
Roses and lavender
Fragrant roses belong in every aromatic garden. Aromatic smelling varieties can be found in the Strauch, Edel, Beet and Climbing rosesso that you can adapt the growth to the local conditions. The underplanting with lavender, which is also one of the classic scented plants, is visually very appealing.
This is how you create your own aroma oasis
If you want to create a scented garden, you should plant it in several levels or in a spiral that goes upwards. A wall or a windbreak ensures that the aromas are directed in the direction you want. Alternatively, you can use a trellis on which a scented rose winds up. Integrate a seat in the aroma garden so that you can relax and enjoy the bewitching scents.
Tips
Well-stocked specialist shops have a large selection of scented plants ready. Sniff your favorite plants here or in a public scented garden and choose them according to your feelings. Touch the leaves of the plants, because sometimes it is only then that the poor are set free.
