Moonflowers are night-blooming plants belonging to the Convolvulaceae family, specifically the Ipomoea genus. They are known for their large, white, fragrant flowers that open in the evening and close by morning. These flowers attract nighttime pollinators, such as moths, making them a popular choice for gardens that thrive in low-light conditions. The most common type of moonflower is the Ipomoea alba, which can grow as a climbing vine. Moonflowers prefer well-drained soil and full sun during the day, requiring minimal care. Their enchanting blooms and sweet scent make them a favorite among gardeners looking to add beauty to their nighttime landscapes.
