1. Moonflower (Ipomoea alba)

The moonflower is a night-blooming plant that produces large, white, fragrant flowers. Its blooms open in the evening and emit a sweet scent that attracts nighttime pollinators.

2. Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)

Known for its tall spires of tubular flowers, the foxglove is a striking addition to any magical garden. This plant has a long history in folklore and is said to attract fairies to the garden. Be cautious, as foxglove is toxic if ingested, so it's best to admire its beauty from afar.

3. Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia)

The angel's trumpet is a large shrub or small tree with pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers that hang like bells. These fragrant blooms open in the evening, releasing a sweet and intoxicating scent. Angel's trumpets are associated with divination and can add a mystical aura to your garden.

4. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Yarrow is a versatile and resilient plant with feathery leaves and flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers. It is believed to have protective qualities and is associated with divination and love magic. Yarrow can attract beneficial insects to your garden and add a touch of enchantment to your outdoor space.

5. Lavender (Lavandula)

Lavender is a well-loved herb with fragrant purple flowers that are not only visually appealing but also have calming and healing properties. This plant is often used in rituals and spells for purification, protection, and relaxation. Adding lavender to your magical garden can create a serene and magical atmosphere.
