Four O'Clock ‘Yellow’
Botanical Name: Mirabilis jalapa
Type: Tender Perennial (Grown as an Annual in Cool Climates)

Four O'Clock ‘Yellow’ is a sun-loving, bushy plant known for its lemon-yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that open in the late afternoon — hence the name Four O'Clock. This charming, fragrant bloomer adds a splash of colour and sweet evening scent to borders, containers, and cottage gardens. Each plant produces an abundance of blooms through summer, and its tuberous roots can be lifted and overwintered like dahlias in colder regions.
