| I saved seeds for the first time last season and opened my bag of seeds today. Wow, what a fragrance. I always store my seeds that I used to buy from the store in the same bag, ziploc sealed and never got the scent I did as when I opened my own bag of saved seeds! Here's hoping they take, I'm tempted to use them as potpourri instead. |

| cookie, I'm curious about what it was that had such a nice fragrance...even as saved seeds...sounds like something I might 'need.' Sue |

| If you like sweet smelling seeds, don't take a whiff of penstemon 'Husker Red'. Yuk! |
|
| Oh gosh yes! I just made a post about this. Some penstemons make awful scented seeds--like a three month old catbox on a rainy day. Yuchh. Often, seeds of herb plants with sweetly scented foliage, like monarda, fennel and anise will also have the same scent. |

| Penstemmon Husker Red smells like feet to me. yeeewwwoo. I love the scent of Anise hyssop - very nice. |
