Heliotrope 'fragrant delight' is the most fragrant I've found ---
Comments (3)I work at at a very large nursery and by far the greenhouses we grow the white petunias in smell the best. As soon as you walk in you are instantly transported to heaven! All petunias smell good when grown on a mass scale, but NOTHING compares to the white houses....See MoreScented camellias
Comments (12)An article in the LA Times yesterday(see separate posting) quotes Tom Nuccio as saying, re 'High Fragrance,' "On a scent scale of 10, this one's an 8 or 9." It's noted as "a descendant of the sweet-smelling C. lutchuensis." The accompanying picture shows a ruffly pink-and-white flower.

Comments (9)I just looked up Donation and discovered something interesting. One site said it flowers much more heavily than do sasanquas in shady situations. The place I will be planting this camellia is in virtual shade. It gets maybe 1-2 hours of very early morning sun. The camellia I currently have planted there is not thriving which is one reason I was seeking an especially profuse variety. - I was hoping this quality would cancel out the shade factor. I guess I should have titled my posting "Most profuse camellias for extremely shady locations"... Thank you, Inverewe. We live in the same 'zone' but I'm not sure this variety is available in Sacramento where I live. Does Donation lend itself to espalier?...See MoreWhat is the most fragrant hosta?
Comments (35)The flower size can be affected by the amount of sun these hostas receive. The more sun and the higher temps and humidity usually will give you bigger flowers if they also receive adequate water. The hosta here on the left is Plantaginea. It receives about 4 hrs of mid morning to early afternoon sun and the blooms are huge. Divisions from the same plant in a shadier location only produce flowers half the size....See Morelongriver
