If you want to attract hummingbirds to your garden, consider planting moonflower (Ipomoea alba). This stunning, fragrant vine blooms in the evening, releasing a sweet scent that draws in nighttime pollinators, including hummingbirds.
Why Hummingbirds Love Moonflower – Large, Showy Blooms – The bright white flowers open at dusk and can reach up to 6 inches in diameter, making them easy for hummingbirds to spot.
Rich in Nectar – Moonflowers produce an abundance of nectar, providing an excellent energy source for hummingbirds.
How to Grow Moonflower – Sunlight – Prefers full sun to partial shade. – Soil – Well-draining, nutrient-rich soil is ideal.
– Watering – Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. – Support – Since it’s a fast-growing vine, provide a trellis or fence for it to climb.
Moonflower is a beautiful addition to any garden, offering not only a mesmerizing nighttime bloom but also an irresistible treat for hummingbirds!
Plant moonflowers near patios or windows to enjoy their evening fragrance and watch hummingbirds visit at dawn and dusk.
Pair them with other nectar-rich flowers to create a hummingbird-friendly garden all day long!
