Just because I disagree with you, does not mean, I am being negative, it is a good way to wipe out colonies of C.coum. I have C.hederefolium corms that are 8 inches across, any C.coum in the way would disappear.
this has been discussed on here before, and on GW.
If you want to plant the species together, I would suggest leaving gaps of at least a foot between different species.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@Songbird. I thought that but when I dug mine up, potted it up and brought it into the house, the perfume was gorgeous. I think that you need to plant it on a warm, sheltered position and probably grow it on until it's bigger for the full perfume effect.
Yesterday I checked my potted Sarcocca and brought it into the conservatory so I can enjoy the perfume. Mine is only a small plant at the moment but is full of flowers and perfume. Lovely.
Warmth for many of these winter plants is definitely a factor. I could smell Skimmia flowers last winter for the first time in my life, because we simply didn't have a winter here. I've never seen so many flowers open on them either. I could smell the Osmanthus flowers properly too, but that isn't usually the case, except when very close to them, as Imentioned earlier.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

@punkdoc was merely pointing out that it has been the case. Nothing negative about the statement.

I've no idea about various smells. It doesn't bother me. Scent isn't particularly important to me in the garden.

Ours too .... finally. Interestingly the Allium sphaerocephalon bulbs I planted in October have had 6" green shoots up since early December.
I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
