Answer #1 ·
Gardenality.com's Answer · John's right...the Plant Search is very fun to use in Gardenality. I just went there and used it to find a list of plants that do well in Zone 8a, morning sun with afternoon shade, attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and are fragrant. Here's the one's that showed up that I really like and have experience and success with in mid-Georgia:
Kaleidoscope Abelia and other Abelia
Bloomerang Lilac
Ginger Lily
Gardenia
Itea - Virginia Sweetspire
Clethra - Summersweet
Hosta Lily
If you drop out "fragrant" here's some more:
Black & Blue Salvia
Encore Azaleas
Cardinal Flower - Lobelia
Cape Fuchsia
Astilbe
Columbine
Penstemon
Purple Showers Mexican Petunia
Bignonia
Southgate Rhododendrons
Spiderwort
Turtlehead
Yellow Trumpet Honeysuckle
Hope this was helpful.
