Lynara,
what zone are you in? My moonflowers will sulk if the temps are not high
enough. Once the soil warms up, they will usually take off. This isn't
until about mid to late June when the night temps are above 60. If you're
not careful, you may run out of warm days before the vine decides to bloom.
It does take a while.
For these reasons, I always start my moonflowers indoors in deep pots. I
understand that they don't like to be disturbed so if I plant them this way
and allow about 3 to 4" of top growth, they usually do better for me.
They're extremely easy from seed; soak them overnight in water and plant
the next day.
Try planting morning glories on the same support. This way you'll have
continuous blooms all day and night. In early cloudy mornings, I would
have both open at the same time. Beautiful to behold with the true blue
and luminous white together.
