For a garden you can enjoy as much with your nose as your eyes, choose this EZ Scape™. This variety of flowers offers a range of subtle scents and timing. It starts in spring with lilacs and phlox, both powerful with their individual rich scents. The season carries on with roses, geraniums, and salvia. A blend of fragrances that can be described as spicy, earthy, and lightly syrupy. This garden would be worth planting for scent alone, but it is visually stunning as well. A range of flower shapes and cohesive coloring in a purply pink palette.
