Moonflower blooms open in the evening and release their fragrance at night. This flowering behavior helps attract nighttime pollinators, including moths.
Moonflower seeds have a hard outer coating. Lightly nick or scarify the seed coat and soak the seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours to help improve water absorption before sowing.
Moonflower vines can reach approximately 10–15 feet or more under favorable growing conditions. Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor to support their climbing growth.
