Night blooming flowers for a dreamy and fragrant garden

 Night blooming flowers 



Many plants close their flowers when the light sets in until morning. However, there are many beautiful and fragrant plants that bloom only at night. These plants are an excellent choice for moon gardens, adding a dreamy and magical vibe to your outdoor landscape.


Additionally, these flowers provide a natural, sweet-smelling atmosphere, as many of them come with a lovely fragrance. To help you choose a flower that best suits your taste and garden design, below are 15 beautiful night-blooming plants to complement your moonlight garden.

It blooms for four hours in the afternoon and closes again in the early morning, offering fragrant flowers that come in yellow, pink, purple, red, and white. They are fast-growing and shrubby plants that require ample space in your garden.


8. Dragon fruit flowers


Dragon fruit plants produce stunning white flowers up to 10 inches across. They open only once a night and last only one night.
