I am not Moni- but I have had Moonflowers for years.

I have transplanted some when they were quite small and they did fine.

They are an annual plant - not sure of your growing zone - but they will not tolerate any frost. It seems a bit late in the year to be moving one.

Mine are self seeded. If you have seed - you could winter sow where you want them to grow. They can get to be quite invasive - but are easy to control.

Is this plant different than a Moon Flower Vine?

Yes it is, check out monis picture on today's Show me yours.

This is what my moonflowers (not the vine type) look like. They are very attractive to Sphinx Moths!

The plant on todays picture thread was moved back in late April. It wasn't "in the right place".

I had a lawn chair over it for about a week, trying to keep the HOT Oklahoma sun off it. Watered it daily too.

At first, it looked like it would not survive, but as you can see, it did.

Wow, it sure did survive, it's beautiful. Thanks everyone!

Thanks, Bigack for the info. I had a Moon Vine a couple of times but mine ran on a trellis. I didn't know you could let them grow on the ground. Good to know. They are so pretty and smell heavenly.

Mammie, there is a moon flower vine, and a moon flower plant like mine. they are not the same at all.

Moni

Yours is pretty.

I would share seeds.

Those moon flower blossoms look like a cousin to the jimpson weed, a pest in barnyards in southern Ilinois.
