PLANTS TO ENHANCE A MOON LIT GARDEN

Look for plants with white blooms, silver foliage; with variegated foliage of white and green ,they light up almost any night garden and don’t forget scent and sound (a gentle fountain murmur):
Shrubs:
Dogwood: Cornus kousa ‘Samaritan’
Silver foliage: Salix canadida pale and back lit by moonlight it is breathtaking
Marvelous scent: Daphne x ‘Eternal Fragrance’
Viburnum plicatum ‘Summer Snowflake’ when this is in bloom I don’t need any lights on in the garden.
Grass: Miscanthus sinensis ‘Autumn light’
Vines: Schizophragama hydrangeoides ‘Moonlight’
Clematis fargesioides; Sweet Autumn Clematis. And the annual Ipomea alba sometimes called Moonflower shines at night, is highly scented and the flowers open up when it’s gloomy or at night.
Other scented annuals:  White Lobelia, petunia, Sweet Alyssum.
Wonderful plants for dripping out of pots:
