11 Types of Fragrant Flowers Suitable for Home Planting
1. -- Jasmine --
Many people's familiarity with jasmine starts with jasmine tea. In fact, jasmine is a very easy plant to grow, as long as it doesn't freeze in winter, it can bloom from summer to late autumn, continuously.
The small white flowers emit a strong fragrance. If you think dried jasmine tea is fragrant, you should definitely try making tea with semi-open fresh jasmine flowers; it's truly fragrant.
2. -- Gardenia --
Gardenia is also a famous fragrant flower. I remember when I was young, my mom liked to wear gardenia flowers on her buttonholes and smell their fragrance. Gardenia is also very easy to grow, but many flower enthusiasts can't grow it well because they don't pay attention to the soil pH value.
Gardenia prefers acidic soil, and the potting soil can easily become alkaline, causing the plant to lack iron and resulting in yellow leaves. As long as you regularly use ferrous sulfate to supplement iron and adjust the soil pH, gardenia is very easy to grow.
3. -- Plum Blossom --

The scent of plum blossoms is very strong, and the two red plums in the pot at Green Enthusiast Network always attract bees due to their fragrance when they bloom every year.
Plum blossoms bloom in early spring. If you want them to bloom in winter, you can grow a pot of wintersweet, which has a very strong and pleasant fragrance.
4. -- Osmanthus --
Osmanthus comes in many varieties, among which the most fragrant are golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, and red osmanthus. They bloom in the eighth lunar month, also known as August osmanthus. Now many flower enthusiasts like to grow osmanthus that blooms all year round, hoping to enjoy the fragrance of flowers throughout the seasons. However, the fragrance of all-season osmanthus is relatively light, and sometimes it's even undetectable.
5. -- Daphne --
Daphne is a very famous potted flower that blooms in winter and early spring. The flowers are not large, but they bloom in clusters, forming small flower balls with a very strong fragrance. Keeping one pot on the balcony can fill the room with fragrance.
When growing daphne, be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight in summer, ensure sufficient light in winter, and prevent waterlogging in the potting soil; it is relatively easy to grow.
