Mirabilis Jalapa Mixed (Marvel Of Peru) (Mirabilis jalapa)
Opens at 4pm: Clock-like reliability gives the name
Sweet fragrance in evening: Perfumes night gardens
Multiple colors on one plant: Genetic instability creates variety
Nature’s Clock
Four o’clocks earned their name by opening reliably in late afternoon, around 4pm. They stay open through the night, releasing sweet fragrance, and close the next morning. This makes them perfect for gardeners who work during the day.
Color Magic
Four o’clocks display remarkable color variation. A single plant may produce flowers of different colors, or flowers that are striped, splashed, or sectored with multiple colors. This genetic instability creates endless variety.
Evening Garden Essential
For those who enjoy their garden after work, four o’clocks are essential. The flowers open as you arrive home and perfume the evening air. Plant near patios and seating areas to enjoy the fragrance.
Growing Tips
Easy from seed or from the tuberous roots. Plant after last frost in full sun to part shade. They tolerate heat, humidity, and drought once established. Self-sow readily. Roots can be dug and stored like dahlias in cold climates.
