Vibrant Color Range

Our 4 o'clock flower seeds showcase vibrant, ever-changing colors due to unique genetics, pH sensitivity, and “jumping genes.” This allows blooms in red, pink, yellow, white, or striped patterns—even on the same plant—creating a dynamic garden display!

Night-Blooming Beauty

As daylight fades, these perennial flower seeds unfurl their fragrant, trumpet-shaped blooms, filling the night air with sweetness. Opening in response to cooler temperatures and moonlight, they attract nocturnal pollinators, making evenings enchanting.

Fragrant Blooms

These perennials release a rich, sweet fragrance at night, thanks to natural essential oils and volatile compounds. As the blooms open, their scent intensifies, attracting nocturnal pollinators and filling evening gardens with a captivating aroma.

Tolerant to Heat and Drought

Our wildflower seeds thrive in heat and drought thanks to their deep tuberous roots, which store water and nutrients. Their efficient water use helps them stay lush in dry conditions, making them a hardy, low-maintenance choice for warm climates.

Four O'Clock (Mirabilis Jalapa Mix) - Four O'Clocks are a fast growing bushy plant which are easy to grow from wildflower seed. They grow to about 36 inches with oval lance shaped leaves and trumpet shaped, fragrant flowers. Flowers may be shades of red, pink, yellow, white or striped. Mirabilis Jalapa is a wonderful addition to an evening garden. The blooms open in the afternoon, thus the common name "Four O'Clock." Even one flower opening releases a rich fragrance. They are a wonderful garden addition!

Four O'Clock plants thrive in all zones, blooming all summer long. Mirabilis Jalapa Four O'Clock thrive in ordinary soil in full sun or partial shade, sending up numerous volunteer seedlings every year (even in cold parts of the country.)

Mirabilis Jalapa wild flower seeds may be sown directly into the garden in the spring in warm areas. In other areas with a late spring, start the Four O'Clock seeds indoors about eight weeks before the final frost date for transplanting. The seedlings may be set in the garden at about the same time you would plant tomatoes. Allow about 12 inches between plants. Mirabilis roots are tuberous and can be divided in early spring. Some gardeners will store the tubers indoors over the winter and then plant again in the spring.

Caution: These flower seeds are poisonous.
