So I've noticed since it's starting to warm up that my moonflower seedlings are starting to look a little Wilty. Any ideas why? Temp is about 70 to 75 and the soil is moist. Too much sun? They usually perk back up when they aren't in direct sunlight and I've started to keep a small fan on them for air circulation. They are inside for now...

I just googled the botanical name & just one site had so many positive comments I haven't quit reading yet. You should start there. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/893/ I have it growing also & it is so beautiful & fragrant, but you better have a large trellis or space for it. It will crawl all over if it doesn't have something to climb on. I think most times the seeds will reseed themselves, but maybe in your area you should save some to replant just in case. I don't know about being related to sweet potatoes, but it is related to morning glories.

usually start my seeds the way arum says also. i grow mine in 3 gallon pots each year. i have never had any take over. shoot i wish i had volenteers each year then i wouldnt have to plant each year. when i pick my pods here after tghey are brown and ready to pop open they are white but after a few days the natural water starts to fade from the seeds and turn tanish. perfectly normal. the seeds you buy from the store are whats called whitewashed( bleached ) so they look nice and are free of bugs. some mg seeds are prone to beetles eating the middles out sorta like a jumping bean type bug. so they treat them. i never have had bugs in mine but knocking on wood. they arer wonderful vines to grow.

Are you looking for Lavender Moonvine/Ipomoea muricata (whose seeds are large and dark)?

The package is the exact thing you are looking for BUT the seeds appear to be on the lighter side. These are not datura, here is a pic of datura seeds next to the moon vine seeds. It really makes no difference to me Ronnie, I was going to pass JM seeds along to a gw buddie. Feel free to email if you would like to give them a try. Lisa
