My Moonflower plant has started growing and blooming really well this summer. Now that we are in Fall it has these green spikey balls on it. Are these the seeds you can replant somewhere else?
Yes, you can harvest the seeds.

Will they flourish in Southern coastal South Carolina?
I could not find moon vine on the list of salt-tolerant plants. It is perennial in zones 10-11 and grown as an annual north of this. It is in the morning glory family and self-sows freely - some would say to a nuisance level. Here are good resources for you. http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/plants/pdf/hgic1730.pdf

Hi, I’m a complete novice with identifying weeds/plants. Please could someone help identify this weed/plant. It has within the space of a couple of weeks spread and covered most of the shrubs in our garden. I’m assuming it’s a weed but not sure which type. The leaves seem quite large for a weed. Any ideas?
I think this may be Moonflower, though it's difficult to be sure until your vine flowers.

Does the moonflower's flower generally last just one day? Rick
Flowers will last just one evening, but not to worry; once your vine starts to flower it will continue for several weeks.
I live in zone 5 New York I planted moonflowers this season. I did not get any flowers. Also I want to bring it iside to save it from frost, as I have read that it will not survive the cold. Should I bother bringing it inside? And why didn't I get flowers? Thanks, Donna
Are you referring to the moon flower, or datura which is also called the moonflower? I will include links for both.

What results can I expect if I raise the Moonflower in a greenhouse tropical Setting allowing winter night temp to fall to 55 or so. It's very difficult to find out how certain plants grow undertropical conditions Evenifthey are naturally tropical. I realize it's difficult because tropical conditions In the tropics depends on altitude et al. Any info wouldhelp. Thanx.....Richard

Will deer eat moon flowers ?
They are considered toxic, but that doesn't seem to stop deer. When other food is not around, they will eat just about anything. So, yes, there is a chance that deer will have a taste of these. There are things that you can do the prevent them, though. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/deer/deer-repellents.htm
