Four O’Clock Seeds

Four o’clocks are loved by many for their whimsical ability to open in the late afternoon and close by morning. Also known as mirabilis jalapa and marvel of Peru, four o’clocks come in bright colors like pink, red and yellow. These types of flowers that open and close do so in response to the drop in temperature. Once the temperature begins to rise again, the flowers will begin to wilt. However, four o’clocks maintain their beauty even when they wilt, so there is no need to deadhead them.

Four o’clock seeds can grow to 1 to 4 feet tall and 1 to 3 feet wide. They are heat and drought tolerant, making them perfect for less-than-ideal growing conditions. The colorful flowers will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees for a lively garden. Be careful, however, if you have pets. Four o’clock roots and seeds are poisonous to animals, so you will need to be mindful of this if you have any pets roaming your yard. For the best results, plant four o’clock seeds in full sun and in soil that is neutral to slightly acidic. You will want to keep the soil moist as you may kill the flowers if you let the soil dry out. Shop for four o’clock flower seeds here, and enjoy a garden bursting with color and wonder.
