Moon Garden Flowers

A moon garden is a beautiful and enchanting garden designed to be enjoyed in the evening and nighttime when the moon illuminates the flowers. To create a moon garden, you can choose plants that reflect the moonlight, emit a pleasant fragrance in the evening, or have a white or pale color. Here are some flowers and plants that are ideal for a moon garden:

Flowers:

Moonflower (Ipomoea alba): This iconic moon garden flower features large, white blooms that open in the evening and night, emitting a sweet fragrance.
Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis): Known for its bright yellow flowers that open in the evening and close by midday.
Night Phlox (Zaluzianskya capensis): This plant has small white flowers that emit a vanilla-like scent during the evening.
Angel’s Trumpet (Brugmansia): Large, trumpet-shaped flowers that are highly fragrant, particularly at night.
Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa): Beautiful white flowers with a strong, intoxicating fragrance that intensifies in the evening.
White Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum): Known for its star-shaped flowers and strong fragrance that is more pronounced at night.
