Bloemen-flowers Araujia sericifera - White bladderflower

• Article number: ARUSE01

Araujia sericifera, commonly known as the moth plant, is a fast-growing climbing vine with striking large white flowers that emit a sweet fragrance in the evening. This scent attracts moths, hence its common name.

The plant quickly covers fences, pergolas, or walls with dense foliage. The distinctive flowers have long protruding parts and bloom from late spring through early autumn.

The moth plant is relatively easy to care for. It prefers a sunny to partially shaded location and well-drained soil. Regular watering encourages lush growth and abundant flowering. However, it is not frost-hardy and should be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse.

This fragrant climber adds character and charm to any garden or patio.

Hardiness: not frost hardy, overwinter frost-free
Tip: prune after flowering to encourage compact growth and next season’s blooms.
