Re: moonflower seeds

Godi, As I recall, these seeds are good-sized and prefer in situ planting -
which I never do.  So I plant them in peat pots.  They also like warmth, so
don't start them indoors too early as when you transplant them the soil
should be warm.  Here in Zone 5 I would start them inside in late April and
they don't start blooming until August.  I also seem to remember that I
soaked them overnight before planting.
