Don't you just love the sweet scent of summer in the air? I look forward to this time all year long. I absolutely love lazy summer days filled with chilling in the backyard.
Speaking of which, why not fill your patio with a gorgeous scent of flowers? Did you know there's a beautiful flower that smells just like red velvet cake? Yes, it's true!
And it kinda looks like red velvet cake, too, due to its dark red blossoms with velvety petals.
I can definitely see why. I absolutely love the striking color of this flower. And the fact it smells gorgeous too? I'm sold.
They like to be planted in a warm, sheltered location with all-day sun. I can't blame them. I would love to bask in the sun all day, too. Ha, ha!
You can always plant them indoors first and then once the weather warms up move them outside. That sounds like a good plan to me. No? I think so.
It helps if you plant them in very well-drained and heavily mulched soil as well. I think that's pretty good news.
This will give the soil an extra boost of heat. You can also ensure the location of the pot fits the flower's sun needs.
Why would you want to hide these beauties somewhere far away in your garden? Huh? That wouldn't make too much sense. Would it?
And they also super attractive to various species of butterflies. Oh my! That sounds absolutely wonderful to me.
As if I need to crave it any more. LOL! But I think it would be amazing to be surrounded by something this delicious. Right?
