The name Moonflower refers to the large, 4-inch, fragrant, white flowers. The flowers open quickly in the evening and last through the night. Provide a growing area in full sun with a well-drained, sandy soil. The leaves are rather large allowing the plant to be used as an annual screen.
Propagation is usually by seed.
The seed coat should be notched with a file and then the seed soaked overnight before planting. This information is for educational purposes only.
