TO START OUTDOORS
In late spring once weather is warm and settled and nights stay above 50°F (10°C), sow in a sunny spot in ordinary garden soil 6 inches apart and 1 inch deep. Firm soil over seeds.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow indoors 2 to 3 weeks before last expected frost in individual pots of seed starting mix. Cover 1 inch deep and keep warm and moist. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready for outdoor planting. Transplant very carefully once nights stay above 50°F (10°C) and before seedlings get too crowded.
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Space seedlings 10 to 12 inches apart. Be careful not to disturb delicate roots.
GROWING NOTES
To speed germination, nick the edge of each seed with a nail clipper, or soak for no longer than 8 hours in tepid water. Plant immediately after soaking. Erect well-anchored supports at least 8 feet tall at planting time; strong netting, a wood or wire fence or a sturdy trellis serve well to hold these vigorous climbers. Moonflowers need a long warm growing season. Combine with dawn-blooming morning glories for a spectacular late summer display both night and day.
