Early spring is here, and that means it's the perfect time to get outside and plant some fragrant plants in your garden. Not all plants give off fruity or sweet scents, but these 15 flowers do. Thanks to these fragrant flowers, the hummingbirds will flock to your garden from late spring all to late summer.
