🌙 Giant White Moonflower
Ipomoea alba
The Queen of Night Gardens
The Giant White Moonflower is a spectacular plant, perfect for creating a magical garden that awakens at dusk. Its vigorous vines can climb up to 6 meters (20 feet), and its enormous flowers—sometimes over 18 cm (7 inches) in diameter—open in the evening to reveal a luminous white corolla, almost phosphorescent under moonlight.
A true living masterpiece on summer nights.
Its soft, sweet fragrance attracts moths and other nocturnal pollinators, transforming your yard, pergola, or balcony into an enchanting nighttime scene.
✨ Guaranteed “wow” effect as night falls.
