Versatile and vibrant, this fragrant light-purple shrub grows easily among even the toughest conditions—withstanding heat and cold, deterring deer and unwanted pests, while attracting butterflies and other graceful wildlife. Lavender can be cut, dried, and used as an ornamental inside, providing a fragrant, elegant touch throughout the home.
3. Dwarf Radicans Gardenia: Perfect for container planting or adding as a focal point to one’s garden, the Dwarf Radicans Gardenia tree features glossy green leaves, cotton-white blossoms, and an enchanting aroma. It’s a popular plant for smaller gardens because of its compact size, but still packs a fragrant punch!

Reaching heights of up to 25 feet, this columnar beauty fits into tight spaces, while bringing tons of interest to the yard—not only for its own eye-catching sight, but also for the pollinating wildlife it attracts.
6. Olive Tree Koroneiki: With a long tradition of being gifted as a gesture of peace and friendship, an olive tree not only elevates any space with its classic Mediterranean beauty, but it also produces rich, delicious fruit.
