Wicked Smelling Plants To Avoid

As pleasing an aroma as many plants emit, some plants give off horrible stenches to protect against predators.

Animals with heightened senses of smell will be turned away by plants with foul odors.

These wicked-smelling plants can also find their way into your garden or surrounding area, depending on where you live.

If you live in wooded areas, chances are you may come across plants that make the air putrid, and this can be problematic if you are someone who is trying to liven up your garden with pleasing odors. If you are trying to get rid of plants with a bad smell but do not know what they look like, there are ways of spotting them.

The Eastern Skunk Cabbage can be found on the east coast of the United States and is known for its mimicking skunk odor. This plant is recognizable by the purple color within the leaf folds and can make its way into neighborhoods and gardens. They mainly spread when bees and insects pollinate the ground, and if an insect happens to be in your garden, they could very well sow the seeds of this skunk cabbage in your garden. The critical thing to remember is to recognize skunk cabbage or any other plant that emits a foul odor for immediate removal.

Other wicked-smelling plants Amorphophallus, Stapelia, and Smilax, are other plants that you can spot in our hemisphere and other parts of the world, but they can find their way into your yard if the conditions are right. If you have a pest problem, you can grow bad-smelling flowers to deter pests. If you do not mind the smell and have an expansive yard, you can plant these bad-smelling flowers to ward off deer and other small animals that may find their way into your garden. These plants may smell, but their beauty does compensate for their terrible odors. That is a way of naturally repelling animals while protecting your garden area.

However, if you do not take kindly offensive odors, you can get rid of bad-smelling flowers by keeping a trimmed and neat garden. Recognize plants that may emit foul odors and use herbicides to kill them. Always attack the roots to kill the plants. Be sure to regularly cut grass to cut down on excess foliage such as ragweed, weeds, and other plants from contaminating your garden.

Wild Ginger - TN Nursery

Wild Ginger

Wild Ginger is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial plant with heart-shaped leaves and unique, reddish-brown, tubular flowers often hidden beneath the foliage, typically found in shaded woodlands. It is a beautiful, versatile groundcover perennial that can be a valuable addition to landscaping. Here are some of its attributes and benefits when used in landscaping. Wild ginger is a plant that many may need to be made aware of. An ideal addition to a lawn that needs some variety in terms of the types and sizes of plants, there are plenty of reasons to start growing this plant where you live. Let's take a look at what it has to offer and how it might benefit your space. Wild Ginger Acts As a Larger Groundcover This plant is the perfect groundcover for those who want something that's a bit larger and can blend in seamlessly with their much smaller and much larger plants. Its heart-shaped leaves can extend up to eight inches tall, helping it seamlessly blend in throughout areas where smaller flowers feel disjointed in contrast with their much taller counterparts. If you have an area where you're having trouble growing grass or want something different, this plant will do! Wild Ginger Attracts Unique Pollinators This plant's flowers do not bloom toward the top. Instead, the jug-like flowers grow near the bottom of the plant. As a result, this attracts pollinators like ants and flies that you wouldn't usually think of as benefitting your garden. If you have other forms of ground cover or smaller plants that may need extra support, this plant could be an excellent addition to attract the pollinators your other plants aren't bringing in. Groundcover is a great way to reduce the number of weeds in your garden or yard. Because ground cover takes up the bulk of the planted space, it's much harder for weeds to take root and begin spreading. Should some weeds manage to start growing, they're much easier to pluck out. This plant is perfect if you want to reduce weeds and have something intentionally growing in your space. Reduces Soil Erosion With Wild Ginger Wild Ginger root systems spread across the space and keep soil in place, reducing soil erosion and ensuring that your soil retains its beneficial qualities. It also protects the roots of nearby plants, which is essential if you're looking to create a robust, beautiful garden.
