Pollen allergies can put a damper on the enjoyment of a scented garden, but it doesn’t mean you have to forgo fragrant bedding plants entirely. By selecting flower varieties that produce lower levels of airborne pollen or rely on insect pollination, allergy-sensitive gardeners can still experience the beauty and aroma of a blooming garden without suffering from allergic reactions.
Consider incorporating geraniums, begonias, impatiens, snapdragons, and hydrangeas into your garden to create an enchanting and allergy-friendly space. Always consult with an allergist or medical professional for personalized advice and precautions. With the right choices, you can indulge in the pleasures of fragrance without the discomfort of pollen allergies.
