Moonflower

Ipomoea alba

Conventionally Grown

Fragrant white blooms are best enjoyed at dusk.

Gardening is not a just a daylight activity, and your garden does not go to sleep when you do. Nighttime is when many growers and garden visitors of all species get to enjoy the fruits of horticultural labors. Midnight pollinators flock to this evening glory, which blooms in time for your return home from work, sends out its scent for a summer dinner al fresco, and glows in the moonlight to romance all nocturnal creatures, including night owls. Grow with morning glories for blooms night and day.

    Beautiful packaging but nothing germinated. Followed instructions to knick the seed and and planted half of the pack -- nothing took.

    Hello, thank you for placing an order with us! I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulty with germination. Moonflower does do well if the seeds get nicked or are soaked for 24 hours ahead of planting. We also recommend to keep the soil moist as they are germinating. We haven't had any other reports of poor germination with Moonflower, and we do test our seed stock 2-3 times per year to ensure a high germination rate. Yet, despite our commitment to testing and quality, seeds are alive and sometimes have their own trajectories and ideas. I am passing along this information to our seed tester so that we can recheck this seed's viability. I will be reaching out to you directly to help remedy this further.

    I love giving your seed packets as gifts to friends because they’re a little work of art! The seed packets are beautiful. I love moon flowers and how they bloom at night. I’ve always had successful blooms when I plant using your seeds. I highly recommend them. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!
