Creating a beautiful garden isn’t just about how it looks. It’s also about how it makes you feel. Imagine stepping outside and being greeted by blossoms that fill the air with sweet, calming scents. Fragrant shrubs can transform your yard into a sensory retreat, making it a place to relax, recharge, and connect with nature. At Hewitt Garden & Design Center, you will find a wide variety of shrubs that bring both beauty and aroma to your outdoor space.
Azaleas
Few plants can rival the charm of azaleas in full bloom. Their vibrant blossoms brighten up spring gardens and, depending on the variety, can bring a subtle sweet fragrance to your outdoor space. Azaleas also attract pollinators, making them both beautiful and beneficial for your garden’s ecosystem.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are garden staples thanks to their lush clusters of blooms that come in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white. While most hydrangeas are known more for their looks than fragrance, some varieties carry a light scent that adds a gentle freshness to patios and walkways. Their big, showy flowers also make them perfect for cutting and bringing indoors.
Butterfly Bush
If you’re after fragrance, butterfly bush (buddleia) is a must-have. Known for its long, spiky blooms and sweet, honey-like scent, this shrub draws butterflies, bees, and even hummingbirds. Planting a butterfly bush ensures not only a sweet aroma but also a lively, pollinator-friendly garden.
Laurels
Laurels might not be the first shrub you think of for fragrance, but their glossy, evergreen foliage offers year-round appeal and a subtle, fresh scent when crushed. They make excellent hedges, adding privacy and a touch of elegance while keeping your garden green even in the colder months.
Boxwoods
Boxwoods are iconic for their tidy appearance and versatility in landscaping. While not strongly fragrant, they release a distinct earthy scent when pruned or warmed by the sun. Many gardeners find the aroma nostalgic, tying it to memories of classic Southern gardens.
Yews
Yews may not offer powerful fragrance, but their evergreen needles and berry-like cones add texture and depth to a garden design. Their subtle scent and resilient nature make them a reliable choice for gardeners who want a low-maintenance shrub with year-round appeal.
