MORE INFO: Name: Four O’Clock Scientific Name: Mirabilis jalapa Other Common Names: marvel of Peru Color: Broken Colors (multicolor) Hardiness Zones: 3-9 Plant Seeds: Outdoors After Frost / Indoors Weeks Before Last Frost Plant Height: 12-36" Plant Spacing: 12 - 15" Cycle: Tender Perennial Bloom Season - Fall, Summer Light Requirements: Full Sun Soil & Water Preferences: Average Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterflies Sowing: Direct sow in early spring, planting just under the surface of the soil; place the seeds about 6 inches apart. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-14 days. When the seedlings can safely be handled, thin or transplant for wider spacing. Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Mature plants should only need water in dry weather, since they prefer slightly dry soil and tolerate drought well. Keep weeds controlled. Deadheading is not necessary, though occasional pruning can be helpful to growth and appearance. This plant easily reseeds itself, and attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
