Details
Just as night owls thrive in the solitude of a midnight silence, evening pollinators do their best work in the dark and some plants have evolved to attract them. White-colored blossoms that appear blinding under bright sun transform into delicate shimmery landing pads under the lunar light, when other colors disappear from the landscape. They emit intoxicating aromas, much stronger than those of day-blooming plants, another adaptation to stay noticeable in the veiled landscape of the night.

Direct sow in prepared, clean, full-sun bed after last spring frost. Packet covers a 3'x10' area; scatter and rake in. Keep area moist but not wet. When seedlings set true leaves, thin to 8-12". Or, start indoors and transplant after frost.
