Author Message   Durgan  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, July 27, 2007 - 07:08 pm EST :    27 July 2007 Mirabilis jalapa--Four O'Clock http://fahgo.notlong.com/ 27 July 2007 Mirabilis jalapa--Four O'Clock The seeds are planted in various locations about the end of May in Zone 5. The plant gets quite large and is a great filler. The flowers open in the late afternoon, hence the name Four O'Clock, and remain open until the sun gets high about 10 A.M. the following say. I always grow a few each year, since they grow easily, but they cannot tolerate any frost. http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html Durgan - Ontario, Zone "5"   Plantynut  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, July 27, 2007 - 09:01 pm EST :    Stunning!

She always grew these and celosias, along with lots of zinnias and marigolds. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.
