Winner will receive ten of these beautiful flower seeds! Four-o'clock plants (Mirabilis jalapa) are very easy to plant and grow throughout America and around the world. Planting should be done when all chances of frost have passed in your area. Four-o'clocks thrive in partially sunny locations, but will do well in sunny locations. Loosen the soil in the bed where you will plant the seeds. The seeds should be pressed into the soil with a small covering of soil no more than a half an inch. Space the seeds approximately one to two feet apart. Gently water. The seeds will sprout in 7 - 14 days depending on the temperature. The warmer the temperature, the faster the germination. A mild, water-soluble fertilizer applied once a month would be beneficial to the plants. The plants will grow to a height of three feet in most climates and produce an abundance of scented flowers. The flowers bloom in the late afternoon, hence the name - Four-o'clocks. Four-o'clocks come in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, pink, magenta, and combinations of those colors. They will continue blooming until the first frost.
