Moonflower

The moonflower comes to life at dusk. In the evening, its creamy white buds open and continue to bloom until dawn.

If you plan to plant it, keep in mind that the moonflower does best in well-drained soil.

Datura

These plants with tubular flowers are often found next to roadside trees or in gardens. Due to the specific shape of the bud, datura is called the "devil's trumpet"

Tip: although datura looks great in the garden, it is a poisonous plant, so it is advisable to keep children and pets away from it.

Evening primrose

Evening primrose, as its name implies, blooms only at night.

In addition to being attractive and exuding a lemony scent, this yellow wildflower also has medicinal properties. Primrose leaves, seeds and oil are widely used in medicine. In particular, the oil is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, chest pain, and menopausal symptoms.

Night phlox

Night phlox is called the "queen of night flowers" and also "northern candy" for its bright yellow hues and honey aroma.

These plants like sunny places with well-drained soil, and the sweet smell of their flowers will always attract beautiful night butterflies to your garden.
