Another great night blooming flower is the evening primrose. Plants are short to the ground, but send up a 1-3 foot stalk that has multiple,sweet smelling yellow blooms. As night falls, you can watch as the petals open. However be cautioned, like moonflowers, it produces a lot of seeds and can easily 'take over' your garden. You can often see them growing wild along roadways/highways. Also, be aware that Moonflowers produce big, thorny seed pods sort of like sycamore balls which are full of seeds. I usually cut them off before they mature to encourage the plant to keep producing blooms.
