Product Review
Grow a garden filled with a mixture of white and lavender colored flowers. Each bloom opens to a width spanning 9 inches wide (White) and 3 inches wide (Lavender). Grow moonflower vines on a fence or trellis for quick coverage. The plants will produce hundreds of heart shaped leaves, along with beautiful saucer like blooms through the summer months.
- Nocturnal Blooming: Moonflower vines, or Ipomoea alba, are known for their large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers that open in the evening and close by morning, hence the name "moonflower."
- Growth Habit: These vines are fast-growing, perennial in warmer climates (USDA Zones 9-11) but commonly grown as annuals in cooler regions. They can reach lengths up to 10-15 feet in a single growing season, requiring support like trellises or fences to climb.
- Fragrance and Attraction: The flowers emit a sweet fragrance at night, making them ideal for evening gardens. They attract night-flying moths, particularly sphinx moths, which pollinate them.
- Cultivation: Moonflower vines prefer well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. They thrive in full sun to partial shade, and while they can be grown from seed, these seeds need to be nicked or soaked before planting to aid germination.
- Quality: All Moonflower seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
- Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 5" wide by 7" tall.
- Promise: Seed Needs will never knowingly supply GMO based seed products. The vast majority of our seeds are open pollinated & heirloom, with the exception of a few hybrids.
- Germination: Seed Needs packets contain some of the freshest seed available. Direct from the growers. If sown correctly, you will begin seeing results in only a matter of days.
- Freshness: All Moonflower seeds are packaged in tear resistant and moisture resistant packaging. This keeps the seeds a whole lot fresher than the competitions selection!
