I have been gardening since before I was a teenager, but I never really paid much attention to names of flowers or what grew best at certain times of the year. My family couldn't understand how I could get nonseasonal plants how to grow out of season. But still, throughout it all, I have never done much research on plants.

What I'd like to know is which plants will give off a nice fragrance indoors and out, with very little light to direct sun. My apartment manager doesn't mind if I put in a groundcover under the miniature hollies, or to plant some flora in front of them.

Can someone give me some ideas? I have five windows in my two bedroom apartment, and a 6' x 11' patio off of my living room. Looking forward to hearing from any of you.
