I am looking for recommendations for scented perennials which are also good for bees. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi there.

It's not really possible to recommend specific plants for you, as we don't know what you do and don't like, your soil type, the aspect (north, south, east or west), or if you want to put them in the ground or in pots, or if the site is exposed or sheltered.

If you do an internet search, you'll find loads of 'bee friendly' plants to choose from. Many sites will include information regarding a plant's requirements, but the RHS's website will give you the best info available. . :)

Hi,

I'd echo the above comments, but you can't go too far wrong with lavender - works in my garden wherever I have it - in shade, sun, clay, pots, exposed, sheltered.

Thanks Andip, I have quite a bit of lavender already as we love it too. I will keep looking for other plants and see what I can find
