Anyway, I grow them up an arbor with Carolina Jasmine and Swamp Jasmine. I've never had my MFs survive a winter here or when I lived in Savannah. They do give me lots of seedpods and seeds though.<br /> JeanniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-18477534151943402792012-03-01T17:59:21.217-05:002012-03-01T17:59:21.217-05:00Thanks everyone!

I believe they are fabulous plants. Good luck with sprouting yours, the germination process seem to start out very well. I hope you get also one for your mom!<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-58674126521000066622012-02-29T19:05:58.191-05:002012-02-29T19:05:58.191-05:00I used to grow everything from seed and moonflower...I used to grow everything from seed and moonflowers were easy so I predict success.

They are not invasive like the morning glories, thank goodness. Enjoy yours!

Each spring I throw a couple of packets into a bowl of warm water, put the bowl in a sunny window, then plant them after they start showing growth. The only bad side of moonflower vines is they get looking kinda raggedy come fall. That's why I like to grow them with other vines that are prettier. Watching them unfold is the coolest thing ever!<br /> JeanniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
