Product Details
✓MOONFLOWER VINE SEEDS, 60 COUNT: Grow Moonflower (Ipomoea alba), a fragrant night-blooming climbing vine with 4–6 in. white trumpets. Heirloom, non-GMO, open-pollinated. Ideal for trellises, arbors, moon gardens, and evening patios. Annual in zones 3–11.
✓LARGE WHITE BLOOMS AT DUSK: Each moon flower opens at dusk, perfuming the evening air with its 4–6 in. (10–15 cm) funnel-shaped white trumpet, then closes by mid-morning. Blooms repeat from mid-summer through frost for months of nightly color.
✓FULL SUN, AVERAGE TO POOR SOIL: Moonflowers thrive in well-drained, average to poor soil with 6–8 hours of direct sun daily. Avoid heavy nitrogen fertilizer, which pushes leafy growth at the expense of blooms. Heat-loving; very frost sensitive.
✓SCARIFY AND SOW FOR BEST GERMINATION: Nick seeds with sandpaper or a nail file, then soak overnight in warm water before planting. This simple prep boosts germination dramatically. Seeds sprout in 7–14 days at 70–85°F after last frost.
✓VIGOROUS CLIMBER REACHING 10 TO 15 FT: This moonflower vine reaches 10–15 ft. in a single season. Provide a trellis, arbor, fence, or pergola at planting time. Roots are sensitive to disturbance, so plant near the support from the start.
✓ATTRACTS NIGHTTIME MOTH POLLINATORS: Moonflower's large, fragrant white blooms attract Sphinx moths and Hummingbird moths active at dusk and night. Hummingbirds may also visit around dusk and dawn, adding unique pollinator activity to evening gardens.
✓ANNUAL VINE, PERENNIAL IN ZONES 10 TO 12: Moonflower grows as a vigorous annual across USDA zones 3–11, completing its flowering cycle in one season. In frost-free zones 10–12, it grows as a perennial. Plants are also deer resistant once established.
