Pale yellow primrose can begin opening toward evening while the tobacco brings white, pink, purple and carmine trumpets.
3-Packet Fragrant Night-Garden Kit
Midnight Moth Garden™
The butterflies went to bed. The garden didn’t.
Three separately packed flowers create one intimate garden designed to come alive around dusk—pale primrose opening toward evening, fragrant flowering tobacco, and sweet mignonette near the path or patio.

What makes it different
A garden that changes after dinner.
Sweet and floral, strongest around dusk: flowering tobacco supplies the richest perfume; mignonette adds a soft vanilla-honey note close to the ground.
Fragrant, evening-active flowers can draw moths and other nocturnal pollinators when they are present in your area.
Three flowers · three jobs
Plant the packets separately.
This is not a blended seed mix. Each packet has a place in the finished garden.
Common Evening Primrose
Oenothera biennis
Tall, pale-yellow evening blooms for the back of the planting or a naturalized pocket. Often biennial, so it may build foliage first and flower in a later season.
EVENING-OPENING · TALL LAYER
Flowering Tobacco
‘Sensation Mixed’ · Nicotiana alata
The fragrance star. Colorful trumpet-shaped flowers bloom the first year and become especially noticeable as the day cools.
FRAGRANT AT DUSK · FIRST-YEAR BLOOM
Sweet Mignonette
Reseda odorata
Low and deliberately understated. Put it near seating or a walkway where its sweet perfume can be appreciated up close.
LOW-GROWING · SWEET PERFUME
Plant it with intention
One small garden. Three simple layers.
The finished footprint is approximately 125 sq ft—roughly a 10 × 12 ft bed, a 5 × 25 ft border, or several smaller connected pockets.
1
Prepare the site.
Choose sun to part sun, remove weeds and loosen the soil surface.
2
Keep the packets separate.
Primrose in back, flowering tobacco in the middle, mignonette near the front or seating area.
3
Sow shallowly.
Scatter each packet over its zone and press into prepared soil. Do not bury deeply.
