What are good moon garden flowers?
Question:I want to have a moon garden and i already have pink jasmine, star jasmine, and purple leaf honeysuckle, im new to the gardening thing and was wondering if anyone knows of some really pretty flowers with fragrance? Thanks
Answers:
Moon Flowers are a nice vine that bloom in the evening and in to night. Four O Clocks also bloom in the evening and on cloudy days and stay open through the evening. There are several varieties of flowering tobacco such as Nicotiana sylverstris that flower at night and have a nice scent. Other flowers that smell great can also work, such as lavender or roses. All of the above come in white flowers which show up with little light in the evening, with a some other colors available. You will also want to check your planting zone to see what plants are suitable for your climate.
I almost forgot, there are some plants that are mostly known for their silvery foliage that would also look nice such as artemisias and lambs ears. Some of these are also nicely scented.
Happy planting!
moon flower (Ipomoea alba) and angle's trumpet (Datura spp.) are my favorites. Both bear big, white flower (angel's trumpet also come in yellow, pink ...) and both are fragrant. Moon flower is an annual vine and angle's trumpet is a woody plant in warm climate. Moon flower bloom at night and gone in the day, angel's trumpet stay open for a couple days.
a moon garden would be at night? so morning glories make a moon flower.. they dont have a smell, but they open at night.. they are very pretty. but they are viney, and need something to grow on. good luck!
White petunias, sweet alyssum, lady slippers or snap dragons.all of these have a beautiful smell, are easy to grow and add some different textures to your moon garden!!
