The listing, 15 Moonflower Seeds has ended.

MOONFLOWERS- They make a large vine that blooms all summer, and with a gorgeous, white hibiscus-like flowers that are just gorgeous. They're really pretty because they bloom all summer through the fall, and they're great for a moon garden because they're a moonflower. Another reason they call them the moonflower is that they actually open up at night. And during the day, the flowers will close, and at night, they will open. You don't see them unless the moon is out So they're a gorgeous, interesting plant. And the best part of the moonflower, the ipomoea, is the fragrance. The flowers have just a tropical, gorgeous, jasmine-type fragrance that just makes your whole garden just have the gorgeous, gorgeous smell at night. So they're an easy annual to grow, so start them by seed, let them bloom all summer, collect the seeds in the fall or by more in the spring, and start them again. But don't put them outside until it's really warm out. It's got to be at least 60 degrees at night before you can put them outside because they're from zones 10 to 12. That means they don't even want any freeze at all. Even below 50 degrees might damage them. But they're easy to grow, and they're a beautiful plant to add to your garden.

Moonflower typically refers to toxic and potentially lethal hallucinogenic plants of the Solanaceae family, Datura inoxia. However, other similar appearing or related plants, including those commonly referred to as Devil?s Weed, Devil?s trumpet and Jimson Weed may also be referred to as moonflower and may have similar toxic properties. Health officials warn that ingesting tea made from the leaves of moonflower and/or ingesting or smoking moonflower seeds, also known as "moonpods" is poisonous and can be life threatening.

The moonflower plant has light green, hairy leaves, spiny fruit, and vibrant, large flowers that bloom at dusk. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows and occasionally young children have been unintentionally poisoned by chewing on the weeds of these plants. However, the plant has a history of being intentionally misused for its psychoactive effects by those who are unaware of its toxicity and dangerous effects.

?It is important that parents, adolescents and educators are aware of the toxic and potentially life threatening health effects from recreational use of the moonflower plant.
