It's probably the variety - some have virtually no scent, some will perfume the entire garden!

Same with sweet peas.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Silly question - are they asiatic lillies, as they have no scent? orientals should have scent, I have never noticed calla/ arum lily having scent and don't know about other lillies
