Moonflower gardens are becoming more popular in the last few years, maybe we are spending more time at night in our backyards. But what is a Moon Garden? It is a group of white flowering plants that seemly glow in the moonlight. Many flowers produced more scent at night bringing in various moths to pollinate them. Foliage plants are used with grey and white hues creating more ambiance. Adding solar lighting will make the beds stand out when the moonlight is missing. Add a fountain to create the sound of flowing water.
Plants that give off scent are flowering tobaccos, especially Nicotiana sylvestris with their long white flowers. Moonflowers with their large white flowers make a wonderful climbing vine. Angel trumpets can not be beaten with their neat, rounded growth and 8-inch flowers.
Any other white flowering annuals or perennials make an excellent addition. You can go will pale pinks, blues, and yellows for variety.
Add a few benches so you can enjoy your new moon flowerbed.
