Four O’Clock ‘Mix’
Botanical Name: Mirabilis jalapa
Type: Tender Perennial (grown as an annual in cooler climates)

Four O’Clock ‘Mix’ offers a charming and colourful display of trumpet-shaped blooms in a variety of pink, red, yellow, white, magenta, and bicolours — sometimes all on the same plant!

Easy to grow and wonderfully robust, this bushy plant is ideal for borders, beds, and patio containers.
