Moon-Flowers are species of the morning-glory family that open their flowers at night. A well-grown plant trained over a porch trellis, or allowed to grow at random over a low tree or shrub, is a striking object when in full flower at dusk or through a moonlit evening. In the Southern states (where it is much grown) the moon-flower is a perennial, but even when well protected does not survive the winters in the North.

Cuttings usually give best results in the Northern states, as the are not long enough for seed plants to give good bloom. Cut-may be made before danger of frost and wintered in the house, plants may be grown from seed sown in January or February, should be scalded or filed just before sowing. e true moon-flower is Ipomoea Bona-Nox, white-flowered; but are other kinds that go under this name. This grows 20 to 30 here the seasons are long enough.
