Fragrant Bloomers Mid August?

14 years ago

What are some fragrant bloomers in mid August? Looking at wedding flower options. Not sure of colors yet.

Tuberoses - not sure if some of the asters that start about then are fragrant. Some roses? Yellow knockout has a light fragrance.

I think the white fragrant ginger is blooming then and would be divine for a wedding! Cosmos has light scent and should be blooming then. Can't think of anything else off the top, but will keep pondering...

Love tuberose and I love the white ginger too.

Roses of course, in all colors, and gardenias for white. Buddleia is also blooming then in many available shades, although I don't know if you'd like it as a cut flower at a wedding. There are also some dianthus that are still blooming in late summer, probably pink or white. I'm sure there are plenty of others!...you may want to post this question in the Fragrant forum for more specific suggestions.
