Some of the best plants for night gardens include moonflower, gardenia, white nicotiana, hydrangea paniculata 'Bobo', sweet alyssum, and lantana. Moonflower is known for its large, glowing white blooms that open at night, while gardenia and white nicotiana release enchanting fragrances after sunset. Hydrangea paniculata 'Bobo' offers large, luminous flower heads, and sweet alyssum adds a delicate honey-like scent. Lantana provides vibrant colors and a citrus aroma, making it a versatile choice for evening containers.
