I constructed a planter out of wood 100cm x 50cm and 50cm deep. plan was to grow veggies (with limited success) and I have decided that for the space I have and time to grow I will change this and use it for small shrubs and flowers. Garden is south facing and area where planter is will be in shade from mid afternoon onwards.
I was sent a free Leucothoe scarletta (currently about 10cm high) with some plug plants which is looking worse for wear so have put this in the planter to see if it survives as I had nowhere else to put it.
I would like to grow high scented flowers as it is near to the house and I would love the punch of fragrance when I come out of the back door or in through the gate.
I have a new wisteria nearby so want to avoid climbers, I already have lavender, herbs, jasmine in the garden.
What would you recommend I plant to give me scent for as much of the summer as possible and which bulbs would you put in for early interest.
