Notes

'Giant Moonflower Morning Glory' moonflower (Ipomoea alba 'Giant Moonflower Morning Glory') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Night-blooming jasmine, Red ginger, Papyrus, and Angel wings.
