There are beautiful flowers. And there are fragrant ones. As a rule, these two properties are rarely combined in one flower. Even roses have a scent that is not as intense as, for example, the inconspicuous mignonette. Russian front gardens were famous for their fragrant flowers. What kind?

Mignonette

Now mignonette has been completely forgotten. But in vain. In the evening it exudes a wonderful aroma. Mignonette is not famous for its flowers, so you can plant it among representative beauties. Breeders, however, tried to improve the quality of small flowers by obtaining double varieties and diversifying the palette of yellow-red shades. But it’s better to focus on the smell. Mignonette is also good because it blooms for a long time - from mid-summer to frost. The most fragrant and oldest variety is fragrant mignonette.

Not demanding on soil. Loves the sun. Small in height: from 20 to 40 centimeters (depending on conditions and variety).

Heliotrope

Heliotrope is good both in smell and color. You can call him an aristocrat in a village flower garden. Among the beautiful, clearly veined leaves, caps of purple or blue flowers bloom in early summer. Heliotrope blooms until frost.

There are tall varieties that are grown in large pots in greenhouses. Heliotrope takes excellent cuttings. Therefore, at the end of summer you can start “supplying” for next spring. Rooted cuttings are stored in a warm, bright room. In the garden, heliotrope prefers a sunny place.

Monarda

They say that Stalin once stopped at flower bed. “What kind of flower is this?” - He pointed his hand at the monarda. They answered him. “Very beautiful flower. And it smells good,” he said. Monarda smells really strong. Mint. The smell is not so much in the flowers as in the leaves. The flower is unusual: one-, two- and even three-story.

A short stem grows from the middle of the flower, on which another flower blooms. Monarda flowers are white, pink, red. They bloom in July-August. Monarda is a perennial. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes. Demanding about watering.

Levkoy (Matiola)

Perhaps the leftover never went out of fashion. The aroma is wonderful. Especially at night. People call it “night beauty” (Matiola bicorn variety). There are many varieties of gillyflowers. There are small, inconspicuous ones, and there are others with luxurious, tall peduncles.

There are early flowering (first half of summer) and late flowering. Some varieties look great cut. Levkoy is also good because it comes in a wide range of colors. Annual (with the exception of the “night beauty”). Each season it is grown through seedlings.

Sweet pea

Sweet peas have been very popular lately. Moreover, many varieties have been bred with a great variety of shades. The flower has become more significant, larger, the stem is longer. Therefore, a vase with a bouquet of sweet peas is a real chic.

But in order for a pea bush to grow luxuriously, you need to prepare “fat”, rich soil in advance. When the young stem reaches 10-15 centimeters, the crown is pinched, after which it produces many side shoots. Support is required. The height of most pea varieties reaches 2 - 3 meters. To ensure abundant flowering, faded flowers are regularly removed. Loves sun and watering.

Fragrant tobacco

In our country, fragrant tobacco has recently become popular. There is a reason. At good conditions tobacco leaves grow large and beautiful. The flowers are delicate and very fragrant. Aromatic tobacco should be planted in a group, this enhances the aroma.

Different shades: light, pink, burgundy, greenish. There are low-growing varieties, but most varieties reach 80-100 centimeters. Blooms from mid-summer to October.

Marigold thin-leaved

Marigolds are a very popular flower in our country. They are affectionately called “marigolds”. They love it for its unpretentiousness, abundance and duration of flowering, for its brightness and beauty.

Lately Many varieties of marigolds have been bred with small flowers that decorate compact, spherical bushes. If the bush is disturbed, accidentally touched with a watering can or stroked with your hand, a spicy aroma will immediately spread. Annual. Not picky about soil. Blooms until frost.

Meadowsweet

In the wild, we can find meadowsweet on the edges of the forest. The foliage is attractive: palmate or feathery, slightly rough (like raspberries). Numerous white flowers are collected in paniculate, long and fluffy inflorescences.

They smell like honey, which attracts bees. Meadowsweet is unpretentious. Several cultivated varieties have been bred, causing the “caps” of flowers to become more magnificent and colored in pinkish and yellowish tones. When cut, meadowsweet quickly fades. It blooms for about a month. Prefers light shade.

Phlox

Phlox is a luxurious and beloved perennial. Handsome. Unpretentious. Fragrant. Decorates the garden from mid-summer to late autumn.

In autumn, the stems of a faded phlox bush are cut off, leaving a small “stump”. To prevent the roots from being exposed in the spring, phloxes are mulched (sprinkled with a little earth, peat and sand). In hot summers, watering is required. Phlox reproduces by spring or autumn root division. In spring it takes cuttings well.

Peony

The beauty and pride of Russian gardens. We loved and love peonies. Recently, flower growers have developed an indomitable passion for new varieties. Despite the fact that peonies fade imperceptibly quickly. Simple, double, semi-double, anemone - all beautiful and fragrant.

Planted in autumn. Peonies prefer light shade. They do not like stagnant moisture in the soil.

Fragrant plants and flowers can give any garden a unique versatility and charm, giving it an aura that creates the desired mood. Without fragrant green spaces personal plot- just a beautiful, but lifeless and “flat” picture, devoid of individuality, while with fragrant flowers and plants even the most modest dacha turns into a real fairy-tale world, awakening in a person positive emotions. What fragrant flowers and plants are suitable for a dacha around which you want to create an amazing atmosphere filled with pleasant smells?

Fragrant garden flowers and types of fragrances

The whole variety of floral aromas is usually divided into certain categories, based on their richness and the nature of the main notes. Science has proven that pleasant smells evoke positive associations in a person, promoting relaxation or, conversely, a feeling of vivacity and a surge of strength.

Among the main varieties of aromas of famous flowers and plants, the following can be distinguished, namely:

• - fruit - magnolia, geranium, some types of bearded irises;
• - pink – peony, rose, individual varieties honeysuckle;
• - citrus fruits – lemon balm, lemon verbena, monarda, Chinese lemongrass;
• - honey - heliotrope, alyssum, heather, barberry, musk rose;

By experimenting with different types of these and many other plants, you can create an extraordinary atmosphere in your area, woven from aromas different shades. However, one should remember about the characteristics of the fragrance of some garden inhabitants and their influence on human body- for example, that matthiola bicorne and fragrant tobacco intensify their aroma with the onset of dusk, and the rich, thick aromas of bird cherry, hyacinths, lilacs, white lilies and daffodils can provoke dizziness and even cause a headache.

Fragrant plants and flowers for the garden

It is a mistake to believe that the list of fragrant inhabitants of the garden limits itself only to the most popular representatives - lilacs, roses, peonies, chrysanthemums, phlox. In fact, this list is much wider than it seems at first glance, and includes not only noble, but even wild crops that we encounter in meadows and forests.

Alyssum- an unpretentious ground cover that exudes a memorable sweet-honey aroma during the flowering period. It is ideal for decorating rocky gardens and flower beds; it looks great in large clumps, but in small ones single landings"lost" When planted near crops that require pollination, alyssum provides invaluable benefits by attracting pollinating insects. In addition, it is known as a magnificent honey plant.

Marigold(Tagetes, Chernobrivtsy) are beautiful fragrant flowers, usually grown as annuals. The recognizable characteristic smell of marigolds is due to the high content in their vegetative parts essential oil, due to which they are considered medicinal.

Most often, marigolds are used to decorate borders, flower beds, and small flower beds. It has been noticed that the specific aroma of these flowers repels many pests - in particular, allowing you to get rid of mole crickets, nematodes and carrot flies that threaten vegetable plantings. For this purpose, marigolds are planted between rows in the garden, near greenhouses and in greenhouses.

The most popular in decorative floriculture are:

• - rejected marigolds;
• - erect marigolds;
• - thin-leaved marigolds.
