Ipomoea alba (Fragrant Moon Flower)

3 (10)m, Fragrant Moon Flower is a showy tropical perennial climber with spectacular, very large (up to 15cm in diameter!), white, long tubed and sweet scented flower trumpets which start to open in the evening. Petals are quite flat and resemble a full moon. The leaves are entire heart shaped or lobed. It is native of open spots in woods from northern Argentina to Mexico and Florida (USA). For any humus rich, well drained soil in full sun throughout the year and a winter minimum of some 20°C. Alternatively grow as an annual. Sow in early spring under glass at some 20°C. Ipomoea alba seeds may easily rot within few days if the sowing medium is being kept too moist. Thus keep the substrate just sufficiently moist for seed to germinate. Transplant to the garden after the last freezing nights from end of spring to early summer. VIII-IX.
