By Horseshoe | The absolutely best vine for your deck or porch, or near an open window, is the Moonvine (Ipomoea alba), not to be confused with Moonflower. Grown on a trellis or deck railing, its night-blooming 6” pure white flowers offer a fragrance to behold. Pull up a chair in the evening and watch the flowers unfold before your very eyes! |

Welcome, Rosebud - I love it when we have people from different countries!

Merci pour what?

Horseshoe said:"Will they transplant okay or are they fussy? Will they tolerate our May temp swings or just be careful with any frost?"
They transplant extremely well. As for temperature swings they love warmth for best growing and flowering. If you set them out while it is still cool (air temp and ground temp) you're not giving them any kind of head start, they'll just sit there or grow extremely slow. It's best to time your seed starting so they germinate in warmth, get their true leaves then pot up to a bigger pot (or start them in your cups, Julia), then set out when conditions are right (warm air temps, warm ground temps).
