I have flowers like marigolds, but they do not have a nice odor. Do you have any favorite really nice smelling flowers so I could go online and buy some seeds for those, please? Hopefully some kind that pests are not attracted to. THANX!

Alyssum is really easy and smells very sweet. In fact it smells like honey. It comes in several colors, too, including white, blue, pink and purple.

Hi, I will buy some alyssum seeds and try them out! Maybe I can mix the colors so we get a varied look. I never tried alyssum before. It can go at the front of the beds. Thanks so very much for the good idea!

Honeysuckle and jasmine are both very nice smelling and easy to grow, but they are vines. You might be able to get a cutting, especially with honeysuckle as it roots very easily. For seeds, cornflowers are wonderful and very easy.

I love honeysuckle.. also Butterfly Bushes attract butterflies and smell nice. We've had one at my house ever since I was little. They will come back every year. They sell at Lowe's for sure but probably any nursery. Good luck!
