Then I hang onto the seed balls ... read moreover the winter, and share them with friends! This year's seedlings seem to be more drought tolerant than last year's and have endured a dry spell here in Central Florida this spring with very little supplemental water. But earlier there were comments about Ipomoea alba growing in shade - moonflower is a heat loving plant, I've got one that is blooming now in half day sun and there's a huge one at Annie's in Richmond that is completely shaded and blooming like nobody's business. Today however, with a daytime temperature of 23°C/73°F, and the fragrance is wafting a several yards/metres. No flowers yet - when should we expect their arrival?

So I will try again, likely in the same place so they get lots of sun but not incinerated in the afternoon/evening. Grow some along a fence with Datura inoxia at the base for some nighttime activity.

I was surprised by how strong the seedlings are. Do not allow children to ingest foliage or flowers, if they do, seek immediate medical attention (Deer, Rabbits, Cats, and Dogs will not ingest plant, and for this reason, it is pet-safe). I let them mature a bit,(at least a long vine and some leaves), before transplanting in the ground. that's why I liked them. I soaked them overnight, then planted in a pot. The store bought one I put in flowered at least a month earlier. It has been planted since May. I just plant the seed and flood it with water. Before planting I soak the seeds overnight and clip just a little bit of the seed off with dog nail trimmers. These plants thrive in poor, dry soil and full sun. My only concern was the zillion seeds if they would sprout next spring and become a pest.
