My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

winter flowering fragrant shrub from seed

17 years ago

Hello,

Can some one tell me any winter/autumn flowering perennial or shrub which can be propagated from seed. Temp in our winter does not go beyond 5C. I am a beginner and want to sow something hardy which can be planted in a container and which could flower in its first year. also the temp in summer here can reach over 100F. Fragrance would be plus. Thanks.
