Description: Four OClock FORMULA Mix Perennial NonGMO Pink Red Yellow White Flowers 25 Seeds. SHIPPING 1st class USPS Four o'clock plants (Mirabilis jalapa) are bushyblooming perennials. These tuberous-rooted plants produce slightly pointed oval leaves on branching stems. They get their common name because of the way they bloom. The flowers open in the late afternoon, typically around 4 p.m. or so, and then remain open until the next morning. The approximately 2-inch-long blooms are trumpet-shaped with five petals, and they come in several colors, often shades ofpinkandred. Some four oclock plants produce flowers in multiple colors, sometimes with marbling or other markings. Four O'Clock Plant Care Because four o'clock plants bloom in thelate afternoon and evening, it's best to plant them where youre sure to see them and catch a whiff of their fragrance, such as around a patio. They grow well in garden beds or in container plantings, and they mingle and grow through other plants nicely, making a pretty underplanting. Four oclock plant maintenance is fairly simple. Expect to water your plants fairly regularly if you dont have rainfall, and feed them throughout the growing season. Theyll also need a bit of pruning to keep them looking fresh and healthy. Light Four o'clocks thrive in full sun, meaning approximately six hours of direct sunlight on most days. They will tolerate partial shade, though the plants might become somewhat leggy and not bloom as profusely in locations that are too shady. Soil These plants can grow in a variety of soil types. But rich, loamy, well-drained soil is ideal. And a neutral to slightly acidicsoil pHis best. Water Do not let these plants dry out; water whenever the top 1 to 2 inches of soil becomes dry. But avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can cause root rot.Mulchingaround the plants can help to keep the soil sufficiently moist. Plants grown in containers will generally need more regular watering than those in the ground. Temperature and Humidity Four oclock plants thrive in warm temperatures and are often grown as annuals in cooler climates outside of theirgrowing zones, where the plants die once frost and cold fall temperatures arrive. Humidity typically isnt an issue for them as long as adequate soil moisture is maintained. Fertilizer Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring, and continue to feed monthly until fall. However, if you already have rich soil, you might only need to give your plants the one spring feeding. Tracking available for all orders $10 and above.
