:) What in your opinion is the best flower to have?

What kind of flower to be planted in Southern California that smells well do you think is best? Maybe something classical like a rose (what kind) or a different one. I just hope to plant one. Please mean by seed, not plant.

Well, Plumerias are wonderful if you want something that smells good. And they are so easy to grow. The only thing is when it gets cold, the plant loses all it's leaves, so it looks like a big stick. But when it starts to warm up again, the leaves come back and the blooms are fragrant. They use these flowers to make the leis in Hawaii

Reply:I don't think you start roses from seed. Check with a local garden center and see what is available and ask questions as to what will grow best in your area.

Reply:Flowering hemp is a wonderfully fragrant flower that does well in most of the contiguous 48 states.
Reply:The best flower to have is called "mother-in-law tongue" because they are hard to die and very easy to take care of.
Reply:Honeysuckle! It smells great and it's pretty, but it's a vine. They also seem to atract wasps.
Reply:My fav is tulips
Reply:By seed? Can't think of any, but a Jackson red rose smells good the whole season. Jasmine smells delicious. I have to think on this one. . . .
Reply:Lilac Bush it smells for a block you'll love it
Reply:lavender, gardinia,lilac, honey locus, all verry aromatic.
Reply:I would choose a perennial plant/flower that you like really well. They always come back if you take care of them and stay beautiful for years. Plus you do not have to replant--and that is the best part of all!!
Reply:check the flower that is avalible

Reply:Consider the ROSE. There are so many cultivars of wonderful smelling roses. Nothing can beat how they combine beauty %26amp; fragrance all rolled up in one.

You really should check out the ones that bloom all season.

The All American Rose called Tahitian Sunset has a strong anise scent. It's a peachy-apricot color.

Of the top 10 fragrant roses I like:

Double Delight which has a pale pink center with ruby edges. Honey Perfume is apricot yellow

Memorial Day- "1 bloom is said to fill almost an entire room" is clear pink with lavender glow

Midas Touch --Golden yellow

Reply:sweet peas (flowers) you can plant them by seeds, and they are very sweet in scent.
Reply:Sages do not require a lot of water, have different colored flowers, and are also fragrant. Look into Baja Blanco Cedros Island Sage, Black Sage, or Creeping Sage. What about flowers that attract hummingbirds? California Fuchsias, Royal Beard Tongues, and Bladder Pods do not require huge amounts of water and attract hummingbirds. How about plants that attract butterflies? Try Baja Fairy Dusters, Golden Yarrow, or Hearst California Lilacs and save on water. Don't forget California Poppies. Add some White California Poppies for a nice annual bed.
