Fragrant flowers are white or pink. You can eliminate the problem and expand your plant choices by building a raised bed. Other spots, usually streamside, are constantly wet and require plants, such as summersweet or water irises, that are at home there. And you'd like this done in your lifetime. Burford hollies grow tall and reasonably fast, yet tend to be space-grabbers.
Camellias are also old favorites.
The perny holly, Ilex pernyi, is more graceful than most tall hollies, growing 9 to 12 feet with a drooping shape. It does well in sun or part shade. Its light green foliage and red fruits possess a classic holly look. A native holly, Ilex vomitoria, grows at a moderate pace to about 12 feet to form an upright, dense shrub. And you don't have to make your hedge or screen entirely of one kind of plant.
