Description

The listing, Four O'Clock Collection - 8 Colors - Perfect for Beginners has ended.

Four o’clock, which goes by several names, including Marvel of Peru and the botanical name Mirabilis jalapa, is a no-fail garden flower. Most gardeners treat the bushy plants as annuals, though they develop fleshy tubers in the south and come back year after year. They grow to a manageable 2 to 3 feet in height, and sport flowers in a fascinating variety of colors, including marbled bi-colors. The common name “four o’clock” came about because the flowers habitually open in the late afternoon, remaining open into the night. They are sweetly scented, and a favorite of hummingbirds, butterflies and hummingbird moths (these are really neat to see!).

Four o’clocks thrive in full sun, but will also tolerate some shade. Like many plants, they prefer fertile, well-drained soil, but are tolerant of a wide range of conditions. They flourish in the heat of summer.

In this auction you will receive the four o'clocks in the following colors/varieties:

Broken Colors - 25+ Seeds
Pink/White - 5 Seeds
Kalidescope - 25+ Seeds
Fushia - 10 Seeds
Limelight - 10 Seeds
Teatime Rose - 10 Seeds
Yellow/Pink - 5 Seeds
Yellow - 25+ Seeds

These seeds will come with detailed germination instructions to ensure your success. These were named one of the easiest flowers to grow - perfect for beginners!

yes, some plants are very interesting, the things they do to survive are amazing.

You can start them right in the ground in May when the soil warms up...or you can also start them indoors in April to give them a head start. Hope that helps!

I had so many seeds one year, I just tossed them out everywhere a bit bare looking...in November. Next spring, there they were! Heavenly scent! Love them! Great auction!

I love these, i have some in my garden and they are so hardy down south here they love the heat and i did some research and they originated in africa...but i love how the flowers open around 4 pm after the sun moves away ...my four o 'clocks seem to be very on time...so my kids and i enjoy watching them around 3:45 to view them as they begin to open up one by one
