There is something breathtakingly beautiful about night-blooming flowers - they remind one of a fairytale.

While there are millions of people who just love to garden, few realize that a garden can be just as lovely at night as it is during the day.

In fact, if you plant the right flowers, your garden can be absolutely mesmerizing when the moon and stars come out to play.

A moon garden - the name given to a garden filled with night-blooming flowers - is the perfect spot for stargazing.

If you like to spend your summer evenings being peaceful outside, you'll love having such a garden.

It is not your typical garden with roses and leafy bushes, but it is a wonder to behold at night. And, it looks wonderful by day as well.

We will look at the top five flowers that every moon garden should have. They may be less fabulous by day, but they will create a sense of magic at night.
