These are an ever-growing list of the most amazing scented flowers I have found as a zone 10b gardener that smell amazing in our zone. I focus on perennials, and trees not annuals for this list:
Table of Contents
Purple Lantana
For some reason the others colors of lantana smell different but this one is sweet and nice.
Tuberose
I love these, a great add to the garden. These are used a lot in the fragrance industry and are easy to grow bulb-like but the smell is the best one for me of all the flowers.
Citrus Trees
These smell so good when they are in bloom. Stunning and beautiful tropical like white blooms too.
Roses
Of course. I have found good breeding to be key David Austin I found to be a good brand and I always apply these two filters on there site for the best result: fragrance highest and zone 10. They also have a disease resistance filter for stronger varieties to certain pests and diseases I would suggest for any newbie gardener to have the best success. Roses are good to plant out windows for both safety from break ins and scent indoors.
Freesia
I love these bulbs, easy to grow and come in so many great colors, I always plants them in patterns by color and they smell great and are a great cut flower for indoor vases too.
Jasmine
There is a night blooming jasmine that blooms you guessed it! At night. But I like to plant this outside bedroom windows for the summer sweet fragrant breezes. I think the white and the pink jasmine smell best personally but the yellow is pretty as well.
Pineapple Sage
This little perennial bush has hot pink little flowers and smells like pineapples truly. Easy to fit into the garden and love the scent.
