Mirabilis

Mirabilis, also known as Four O'Clocks, is an old-fashioned garden favorite. The seed can usually be direct sown in the garden, but if you’d like to get a head start, try sowing them indoors about 4-5 weeks before your first frost free date. Four O’Clocks are so named because their flowers open in the late afternoon and remain open throughout the evening. They are known for their sweet evening perfume, so be sure to plant them strategically in your garden where you’ll be able to enjoy their sweet fragrance.
