Moonflower

Limited! Moonflowers are prized for their habit of opening only in the evening–hence the name–and for their intoxicating fragrance. The flowers will close again in the morning, spending the day wrapped up like the more familiar morning glories. Their almost luminescent, giant blooms make them perfect for establishing a peaceful evening sitting spot or creating a bit of romance in the garden. If you give moonflowers something to climb, you’ll be in for a treat. Their vigorous vines twine around and grow up to 15 feet. Once they start blooming in summer, they’ll continue until autumn frost. The five-inch-wide flowers are bell-shaped and white and appear to glow in the evening. During the day, moonflowers look like a stately dark green vine as the flowers close. 

Moonflowers smell sweet to us and pollinators. Moths pollinate at night and are highly attracted to moonflowers, like other bees and insects.

Price per plant, 3" pot.
