Seeds for Planting a Moon Garden

Seeds for Planting a Moon Garden

Anyone who has the chance to view their flower garden at night should consider planting a small "Moon Garden" patch that can be enjoyed during the late evening and early night hours. Some flowers only flower at late evening and night and others, particularly several white varieties seem to actually glow under a moonlight. We recommend the following:

D9804 GIANT MOONFLOWER( IPOMEA ALBA VAR. )

A fast growing vine related to the morning glory, this annual may climb to 10 feet. Tightly closed by day, its white flowers open at dusk to release a sweet fragrance. Flowers can be seen very clearly in moonlight.

FS490 PINK EVENING PRIMROSE ( OENOTHERA )

A lovely border plant growing to 12" with silky, rose colored blooms that deepen to a butter-yellow center. Opens in late evening to release soft fragrance.
