Moonflower Power

Annual vines are a nearly instant reward in the flower garden. If I had to choose only one, it’d be moonflower. It has exquisitely perfumed, 6-inch blooms that open late day and persist through the evening. You can virtually see the velvety, milky-white buds unfurl, often in minutes. Soak moonflower seeds overnight or nick the seed coat to speed germination.
