Something fragrant to add to my garden that will bloom in the fall?

Question

I'm looking to round out my garden with something frangrant that will bloom in the fall (besides roses). The more fragrant the better. I live in Northern California, zone ~9ish.

Answer 1

You might consider these:

Clematis terniflora "Sweet Autumn". Fall flowering vine (gets big).

Hedychium thyrsiforme (a type of Ginger Lily). Fall bloom, mildly fragrant, winter-dormant.

Salvia coccinea 'Lady in Red' (Scarlet Sage). Compact. Blooms late into the fall.

Lycoris chinensis. Fall blooming, beautiful gold.

Crocus sp. There are many fall-blooming cultivars.

Here are some lists of fall blooming plants:
