Four O'Clock ‘Mirabilis’ is a fascinating, fragrant bloomer that lives up to its name — its trumpet-shaped flowers open in the late afternoon, releasing a sweet, citrus-like fragrance through the evening.

Bushy and robust, it thrives in sunny beds, borders, and large containers, adding tropical flair and intrigue to any garden.
