Growing A Magical Moon Garden

One of my favorite times to hang out in a garden is at night.  There’s a magical element there that isn’t necessarily present during the day. The beauty is less in-your-face and more subtle and nuanced.  For the night owls among you, consider building a moon garden! 

Your Guide to Summer Flowers: Moonflowers

The moonflower is in the family Convolvulaceae, which includes the morning-glory. The plant is native to Central America and is now found worldwide. Moonflowers are tropical plants that are perennials in hot climates. Those plants growing in the southeastern United States form tuberous roots and become perennials; however, those plants growing in Arkansas and cooler climates are annuals.
