Purple iris are most fragrant. My top picks are Caprice, pallida dalmatica and germanica. Good Luck :)

English Charm smells like cat pee.

Elmsvane - interesting. I wondered about that too, if it was just my imagination. I put in a pre-order for all three, from Old House Gardens. They send in Spring (interesting, but they say it works). That they are very old, traditional, and fragrant, probably came from someone's yard or a cemetery at some point, or were "found", are all pluses. Perfect for my yard. Very excited.

Still thinking about others, too, and will go through those listed here with relish.

No cat-pee irises, please. Maybe they would repel deer? They say fig trees smell the same way, and that deer don't touch them either.

Gotta find that September Sailor. An iris that smells like root beer would be a lot of fun.

lol Renee being that was the only thing you wrote in your message made it 100 times more funny!!! ROFL!
Maybe we could give our English Charms a good dousing of essence of lavender to spruce up their fragrance. lol
You are a hoot Renee!

Amethyst Flame smells of cheap soap.

Another root-beer-scented oldie is Alcazar.

Many iris with I. pallida background have a grape soda scent.

Definitely need to look around for a start of Alcazar! root-beer scented would be fun.

I think I will plant my heritage irises in a raised bed similar to my vegetable beds. I like them for what they are, more than as a landscaping plant. Plus, in the raised beds they will not require leaning over so far to smell them.

Can anyone on here look at aquawise's list know weather it's re-blooming and weather it's early mid or late bloooming
