Night-Blooming & Fragrant Flower Seed Kit
Midnight Moth Garden™
A three-packet evening garden built around pale blooms, fragrance, and flowers that come into their own after dusk.
Midnight Moth Garden™ is a complete 125 sq ft evening-garden kit: three generously filled seed packets in a coordinated premium presentation, with a packet-by-packet planting plan. Each species packet contains approximately four times the seed in our corresponding standard individual packet. Plant the packets together as one layered garden—but do not mix the seed packets together.
CoverageApproximately 125 sq ft total—roughly a 10 × 12 ft bed, a 5 × 25 ft border, or several smaller coordinated planting pockets.
SunlightFull sun to partial sun; good light supports the strongest flowering and fragrance.
When to PlantPlant after hard-frost danger in colder climates. In mild climates, use the locally appropriate cool- or warm-season planting window for each species.

What to Expect
Let the planting develop.
Flowering Tobacco and Sweet Mignonette are annuals and can bloom the first season. Common Evening Primrose is typically biennial and may spend its first season forming a leafy rosette before flowering in a later season. The planting changes character through the day: mignonette stays low and fragrant, tobacco supplies colorful trumpet-shaped flowers and a stronger dusk scent, and primrose rises behind them with pale yellow evening-opening blooms. The result is intentionally intimate—a small garden for porches, patios, borders, and places where you can actually be outside to smell it.
How to Plant
Prepare, sow, and press.
Plant primrose toward the back, flowering tobacco through the middle, and mignonette along the front or near seating. Use the illustrated Midnight Moth Garden guide for packet-by-packet sowing.
