Night Garden

11 years ago

Hi there,

I'm gonna be buying a house very soon that will have an actual yard for me to do things to! I really want to set up a night garden and try to attract some moths. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I've never attempted anything like this and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

The tall, heavily scented nicotianas, like Jasmine Tobacco, and phlox should have them beating a path to your garden.

Here is a link that might be useful: Jasmine tobacco
