I have had a good search Runnerbean and the only scented one I can find is Fuchsia Arborescens which is a variety that todays fuchsias are descended from. It doesn't look like a fuchsia though!

Why would anyone want a scented fuchsia? The look of a plant laden with flowers is enough for the senses surely?

However, I must admit that if a fuchsia smelt like a sweet pea my garden would be full of them LOL

I can see what you mean, thanks, LJ, can you imagine how rich you would be to produce a scented fuchsia and a yellow geranium. Maybe one day!

Maybe I'm asking too much Smithyveg, they are pleasing as they are.
