Hi Natasha_cupcake!

Flowers, fragrance and fruit here :)) I wish I had room for more fruit tho!

You really have to look plants up to get what you want. I planted Mock Orange, Innocence, in 2003. It's just starting to get enough blooms to smell up close. You could trim the one you have to grow in a fountain shape and get another that will have fragrance.

I adore Bouncing Bett. I've had the single and double, but due to no room to spread, had to get rid of it. I love the spicy candy smell.

I'm not zone 6, so maybe someone else will have bloom time help. I go out every day and write down which plant is blooming and which bed it's in. It's one way to help me move plants I already have, around for bloom and color cordination.

Mock Orange taken a few days ago.
