Gardening is not just a daylight activity and not your entire garden goes to sleep when you do. Night time is when many growers--and garden visitors--get to enjoy the fruits of horticultural labors. This evening glory blooms in time for your return home from work, sends out its scent for a summer dinner al-fresco, and glows in the moonlight to romance all nocturnal creatures-even night owls. Growing tip: enjoy showy blooms at all hours by letting morning glories intertwine with your Moon Flowers.
