- 1). Scrape the moonflower seeds lightly with a file to break the hard outer coating. If you prefer, you can soften the moonflower seeds by soaking them in a bowl of water overnight.
- 2). Choose a spot in full sunlight with well-drained soil to plant the moonflower seeds. Loosen the top 4 to 6 inches of the soil with a hoe or garden fork.
- 3). Scatter the moonflower seeds on the surface of the soil, then cover the seeds with 1/4 inch of soil. Water the soil and keep it lightly moist until the seedlings emerge. When the moonflower seedlings emerge, thin the seedlings so that there is at least 6 inches between each plant.
- 4). Spread a thin later of organic mulch around the moonflowers to control weeds and retain moisture, but don't allow the mulch to bury the seedlings.
