GROWS WELL IN SUN OR SHADE & DIVERSE CLIMATES: Flourishing in full sun to partial shade, they grow as perennial flowers in USDA Zones 8–10 and as annuals in cooler areas.

EASY PLANTING & LOW-MAINTENANCE: Sow 2 perennial seeds per plant at a 1/4-inch depth, spacing them 12–24 inches apart in well-drained soil. Our four o'clock seeds require minimal care, naturally keep deer away, and their self-seeding habit ensures they return yearly in the right environment, making them a great choice for perennial flower seeds for planting outdoors.
Mirabilis jalapa, or commonly known as Four O’Clock, is a tender perennial that produces an abundance of flowers all summer long. The plants are shrub-like and can reach 18 – 36 inches in height and the same in width. The trumpet-shaped flowers are brilliant red and can be in clusters or single blooms, and they have a vanilla scent attracting hummingbirds. On sunny days, the flowers open in the late afternoon and wilt by the next morning. Bloom after bloom is produced all summer long to create a lovely red display. Start Four O’Clock seed indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Press the seed into soil, cover it with ¼ inch of soil and keep the seed moist. With a temperature range of 65 - 75F, germination is usually in 14 days. Grow Four O’Clock in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil. Space plants 12 – 24 inches apart. In areas with long growing season, Four O’Clock can be directly started outdoors after danger of frost has passed. They have large, carrot-shaped tubers that can be divided in the spring. Caution: do not eat the seeds; they are poisonous.
