| Hi, I am trying my first attempt with moon flower seeds. I have read some other threads. If I soak them, when do you plant them? How long should I soak? also, since it is almost july and I live in zone 6, should I put them in a pot to bring in later? My other questions, do you plant in part sun? Which sun - morning or evening, all day? After the season is over, if planted in the ground, will they come back. Any help to my beginning would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

| I find that you must soak them untill they start to swell.... this could be up to a week..... any that float to the top are bad..... dark ones are bad as well...... :) |

| I'm wondering if you have enough time in your growing season to get blooms. Anyone have any thoughts on that? They'll germinate quickly, but maybe won't flower. Maybe. If you have a bunch of seeds, you might want to set some aside for next season just in case. Moonflower vine is an annual - treat them like morning glories b/c that's what they essentially are. Mine are in part sun - they are climbing a large willow teepee trellis. I would soak them at least 48 hours and perhaps nick them with a nail clipper if you wish. I've been told by morning glory people that it's best not to fertilize - otherwise you get plenty of green and very few blooms. |
