CHUXAY GARDEN Ipomoea Alba-Moonflower,Tropical White Morning-Glory,Moon Vine 30 Seeds Showy Accent Plant

A fascinating and sweetly-scented 'Belle de Nuit', Ipomoea alba(Moonflower) earns its name from its pure white flowers which open in the evening and close when touched by the morning sun. At dusk, the densely packed buds pop open, and the flower petals unfold within a few minutes. They reveal a pale green star extending from the throat and send their very sweet fragrance into the night air. At dawn, the large, flat flowers, 3-6 in. across (8-15 cm), close by rolling up. lpomoea alba is also noted for its long twining stems luxuriantly clothed in large, heart- shaped, deep green leaves which provide a dense leafy cover. Ipomoea alba is a perennial vine in warm areas but grown as an annual elsewhere. Prized for its quick growing climbing habits, this 'Belle de Nuit' is perfect to hide an unforgiving fence, climb a wall or scramble through arbors and trellises.
