Moon flower seeds. These old-fashioned flowers, as the name implies, open in the evening. As evening falls, you can actually watch them open. For added interest, mix them with morning bloomers such as morning glories. Grown as an annual but perennial in mild areas, they’re easy to grow and grow best in full sun.
How to Sow
Sowing Directly in the Garden:
- Moon flower seeds have a hard seed coat. To aid germination, nick or cut the seed coat with a nail file and soak the seed overnight.
- Direct sow seeds in average soil in full sun two weeks after the danger of frost has passed. Moonflower is a vigorous vine; choose a location next to a support for the vines to climb.
- Moon flower seeds are not generally recommended for containers.
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds and working organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth. Moonflower tends to prefer poor soils rather than highly enriched soil.
- Sow seeds thinly and cover with 1/2 inch of soil.
- Firm soil lightly and keep evenly moist.
- Seedlings will emerge in 7-14 days.
- Bellflower seeds can be a good companion
- Moon flower seeds. Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet.
- Thin to stand 12 inches apart when plants are 1 to 2 inches high.
- Do not fertilize unless the plants are nutrient-deficient. Over-fertilizing may produce lush green vines with few flowers.
- Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.
- Remove plants after they are killed by heavy frost in the fall to avoid disease issues the following year.
- Moon flower seeds and vines need little care and are easy to grow.
- Plants can self-sow, so allow some to set seeds at the end of the season if you would like them to come back next year. If you would like to prevent self-sowing, remove seed pods before the seeds are released.
- When night falls, flowers open quickly, sometimes in less than a minute. Excellent plant for a patio where you may enjoy the summer evening outdoors.
