Sweet, Old-Fashioned Four O'Clocks

VEGETABLES----HERBS----FLOWERS----HABITAT GARDENS ----MINI MEADOWS----GIFT CERTIFICATES

Four O'Clocks are one of those old-fashioned plants that we tend to forget about until we see them in person, and realize how absolutely charming they are. The more you see them the more you want to grow them!

Also known as the Marvel of Peru, Four O'Clocks (Mirabilis jalapa cvs.) are so named because their flowers open each day at about 4:00 PM, unless it's cloudy, in which case they could bloom earlier. The bushy plants grow up to three feet tall and wide, and their fragrant blooms begin to appear in midsummer and continue on until first frost. Their colorful, trumpet-shaped flowers are pollinated by sphinx moths and visited by any number of butterflies and hummingbirds.

While they are technically perennials, most gardeners grow them as annuals. In warmer states, they occasionally self-sow politely.

Eight Fabulous Four O'Clocks

We've added four new Four O'Clocks to our offerings this year, bringing the choices to a whopping eight! Because they are easy and fast to grow, it is best to sow Four O'Clocks seeds directly in the garden after the last spring frost date. Find your spring frost-free date HERE.
