🌺 Four O’Clock ‘Red’
🌺 Botanical Name: Mirabilis jalapa
🌺 Type: Tender Perennial (grown as Annual in cooler climates)

Four O’Clock ‘Red’ is a vibrant, old-fashioned favourite that produces deep crimson to rich cherry-red trumpet-shaped blooms that unfurl in the late afternoon and evening, releasing a light, sweet fragrance. Ideal for adding colour and scent to borders, beds, and containers, these easy-to-grow plants thrive in sun and heat. In frost-free areas, they return each year from tuberous roots; elsewhere, treat as an annual or lift tubers for overwintering.
