Fragrant Flower Bulbs

Many gardeners plant flower bulbs for the sheer beauty they provide, but what about the added benefit of fragrance? The scent from many bulbs even makes it beyond the garden to soaps, perfumes, and candles. Some classic fragrant flowers grown from bulbs include lilies, hyacinths, and peonies, but there are many others to discover! Explore our top fragrant flower bulbs, and begin your journey to a heavenly scented garden and home.

• Bring great fragrance inside your home
• The best flowers to give as gifts
• Scents range from light and sweet to powerful
• The colors are as wonderful as the fragrance

It’s so hard to pick a favorite flower, but if we HAD to we’d choose one of these 200 fragrant flower bulbs and perennials. While beauty alone is enough to win us over, every one of these varieties has a sweet scent that keeps the pollinators (and us) coming back for more.

Our collection of fragrant flower bulbs and perennials includes cut flower staples like Oriental lilies and peonies, as well as a few exotic species like Mexican Tuberose and Lily of the Valley.

If your flower garden is lacking something and you can’t quite put your finger on it, we’re sure that you’ll find what you're looking for in this exquisite collection of breathtakingly beautiful, sweet-smelling blooms.

Fragrant flower bulbs are so easy to grow and maintain! Plant fragrant flower bulbs and perennials once, and as long as you keep the plants watered and weeded you’ll be rewarded with blooms season after season.

Most fragrant flower bulbs, including alliums, Asiatic lilies, alliums, and reblooming bearded irises thrive in partial shade–so you can reserve the sunniest areas of your garden for the higher-maintenance heat-loving annuals.

Sure, everyone knows hyacinths are quite possibly the most fragrant flowers–but have you ever smelled hosta blooms? Or calla lilies? Some of the most unexpected ornamental plants smell the sweetest, once you take the time to notice. With so many fragrant flower bulbs and perennials to choose from, it’s easy to plan a perennial garden that will show color and fragrance all season long.

Be sure to order a few each of spring, summer, and fall bloomers so you can enjoy sweet-smelling flowers year round. Plant allium and hyacinth bulbs a few weeks before your expected first fall frost, and you’ll see (and smell) the colorful, fragrant flowers in mid to late spring.

For the most bloom time and the least amount of effort, consider planting re-blooming bearded irises. These deer-resistant, drought-tolerant plants will bloom twice a year–once in midsummer and again in fall. Plant reblooming bearded iris roots in late summer to give the plants time to establish before winter weather.
