Mirabilis jalapa 'Red'—Four O'Clock Flower 'Red' Seeds
Four O'Clock plants bloom late in the day and will scent your garden at night. Once grown, these plants are best placed near windows, doors, and patios so that their fragrance can be enjoyed best.
I've grown several kinds of Mirabilis over the years and they've always rewarded me with their vigor. Their stems are always strong and from what I've experienced I've seen neither pest nor disease in any. So long as they're given plenty of sunlight and enough space for their thick root to swell, you won't be disappointed.
Did I mention they'll rebloom all summer? Like I said, these are great.
These seeds were originally grown and harvested by fellow garden blogger and writer Grace Peterson. You can find her work and garden online at 'Gardening with Grace'.
Sowing Instructions
Sow between 65-75F with light (if done indoors). Can also be planted outdoors where they’re intended to grow after the last frost in your area. Seeds should germination in about 14 days. Be sure to plant somewhere they’ll get lots of sunlight and heat.
Instructions are also included with your seeds.
These are fairly straightforward to germinate and grow.
