I have been looking for some perennial flowers that do not require much sun. I found Columbine flowers online. They appear to be easy to grow and care for but I am wondering how fragrant they are and what they smell like. Anyone grow these? Has anyone smelled these before? Any hints? I am zone 7 |

I grew wild columbine (transplanted from my woods) by my house several years ago. They do very well in shade but I didn't notice any fragrance. If I remember correctly they bloom mid-May to early June. I had them with some lilies of the valley and those flowers took care of the fragrance! Pretty sure I did nothing to help them along, so they are hardy. I'm in zone 4. |

My mom has some lovely purple ones in her yard - they grow in a shaded area quite well. They don't have any fragrance, though! MaryF in KY |

I have 2 colors planted (around Harrisburg). They grow very nicely in the shade, but have virtually no fragrance. They are just for visual interest. Mine bloomed most of the summer, but I do dead head them. |
