When do Moonvine Bloom in Zone 6

15 years ago

I got this large mass of moonvines but no flowers. Yet my Morning Glories are blooming their heads off and seeding up. I am new to moonvines. They are growing from within a tire. I put 0-23-23 on them weeks ago. Still no blooms? How to get them to bloom?

It's common for people to complain about moonvines taking forever to make flowers. When I think something should be blooming but it's not, I put a banana peel at the base of the plant and usually get blooms very soon. (Cover with a bit of soil to prevent fruit flies.) There are lots of threads on moonvines in moon garden forum you may enjoy reading.
