Moon gardens: Designed to 向こうずね when bathed in moonlight
Planning this year's garden? My guess is you´re 想像するing 工場／植物s bathed in daylight.
But the problem is that by nightfall, when the sun has 始める，決める and you´re ready to kick 支援する at home, you won´t be able to see and fully enjoy the fruits of your gardening labor without flooding the yard with 人工的な lighting. And that´s not relaxing at all.
Instead, consider 工場／植物ing a moon garden 特に designed to be enjoyed by the light of the moon.
工場／植物s with silver, variegated or 有望な foliage, white or light-colored flowers, or blooms that open only at night are ideal choices for a moon garden, as are 高度に fragrant 工場／植物s. 工場／植物 them along a walkway or 近づく your deck or patio, where you can enjoy them up の近くに, or within 見解（をとる） of a window.
My favorite white, moon-反映するing blooms 含む the aptly 指名するd moonflower (Ipomoea alba), Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum), four o´clock (Mirabilis jalapa), 甘い alyssum (Lobularia maritima), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), snow-in-summer (Cerastium tomentosum), evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), foxglove (Digitalis), petunias, New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri), and geranium (Pelargonium).
Night pollinators such as the sphinx moth love them, too.

Spring bloomers, like lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis), daffodil (Narcissus) and azalea (Rhododendron spp.), and late-blooming 種類 like chrysanthemum and autumn clematis (Clematis terniflora) 延長する the season.
工場／植物s with standout foliage 含む spotted dead nettle (Lamium), Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum), Jack 霜 Siberian bugloss (Brunnera microphylla), variegated hostas, silver lamb´s ears (Stachys byzantine), dusty miller (Jacobaea maritima), ロシアの 下落する (Salvia yangii or Perovskia atriplicifolia), silver 塚 wormwood (Artemisia schmidtiana´ Silver 塚´) and variegated euonymus varieties.
They remain 明白な after sundown and 特に seem to glow under a 十分な moon.
高度に fragrant 工場／植物s like mock orange (Philadelphus pubescens), gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), lilac (Syringa vulgaris), summersweet (Clethra alnifolia), jasmine (Jasminum officinale) and, in the warmest 気候s, ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata) and frangipani (Plumeria rubra), will lend aromatic delight to your evenings.
含む a 背景 of shrubs like the sweetly scented Korean spice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii), or white- blooming hydrangea varieties such as "Annabelle," "Incrediball," "Snow Queen," "Little Lamb," "Polar Ball" or "Wedding Gown."
Trees like paper birch (Betula papyrifera), white or silver poplar (Populus alba), acacia and eucalyptus light up the night. 研究 those that are best-ふさわしい to your 気候.
For 最大限 衝撃, 工場／植物 in drifts, or groups of three, five or seven, of the same variety. That´s a good gardening practice in general because it 避けるs creating a jumble of disconnected individual 工場／植物s. But it´s 特に important in the moon garden to 確実にする 選び出す／独身 工場／植物s aren´t lost in the 不明瞭.
Think about hardscaping, too. There are no 支配するs against 補足（する）ing moonlight with 工場／植物-直面するing landscape lighting. The glow will 高める the magical flair of your moon garden, as will the 新規加入 of white 盗品故買者ing, trellises, 覆うing 石／投石するs, pebbles, 激しく揺するs, fountains and gazing balls.
