FRANCE (Zone 9a)
Hello
Sorry for the title in french
but I want to finish my little garden with a truly remarkable little tree
I am looking for a small, well scented tree for a small garden
Oceanic climate marked with the following conditions:
-facing north-west with strong winter storm coming from Atlantic sea..I'm near BREST in FRANCE
-well-perfumed in summer
-port not too "spread" .. I do not want a large shrub
-rather persistent .. but it is not a condition
-temperature: -5/-6 degrees celsius minimum
-Ground rather cool
My summers are bad: lack of heat
I thought of:
- Michelia figo
- Franklinia ... very beautiful flower and beautiful fall foliage
Can you advise me?

Pierre

ps: thank you all for your advice on calycanthus Aloysia virgata, hostas and heucheras
