Moon Vine Seeds - Flower Plant

Moon vine, botanically known as Ipomoea alba, is a fast-growing tropical climbing plant valued for its large, white flowers that open in the evening and remain visible through the night. It develops long, twining stems with heart-shaped leaves and is well suited for vertical gardening on trellises, fences, and pergolas. This plant thrives in warm climates with full sunlight and well-drained soil, requiring consistent moisture during active growth. Moon vine establishes readily from seeds, especially when pre-soaked, and performs reliably in tropical and subtropical conditions.
