| I have a some spending money and a wish list, now I just need to know if the plant I want exists in nature.
I am looking for the most fragrant annual that there is. I want to be able to smell it by walking by--not just by putting my nose up to it. I want to plant them in my vegetable garden. So, it needs to be an annual. (I do a covercrop and till every year) I am in zone 7 and I can grow most things from seed if I need to. Does anyone know of a plant that fits this wish list? |

| My best guess would be Stock (Matthiola incana). I find the fragrance of stock is similar to Dutch Hyacinths. And both are exceptionally wafty. They're very cheap too and only cost $2~3 for a six-pack at my local nurseries. They prefer the cooler seasons and when Summer comes, they usually bow down. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stock info

| I want fragrant annuals this year, too. I'm going to be trying to Stock and Alyssum. |

| if you have something for them to climb on, moonflower vine is evening-fragrant. you could also try heliotrope, flowering tobacco and sweet peas. |
