Bring color and movement to your garden as day fades

Seeds Of Strength Mixed Four O'Clock Seeds deliver a lively, multi-hued display of Mirabilis jalapa with the distinctive broken-color effect. These evening-blooming blooms exude a gentle fragrance that fills outdoor spaces as the sun sinks. The seeds are heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO, offering a heritage option that aligns with sustainable gardening goals while providing dependable results for gardeners who value character and sustainability.

Grown as tender perennials in warmer climates and as annuals in cooler ones, these plants reach a mature height of roughly 60–90 cm (24–36 inches). They thrive in warm conditions with full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained, fertile loam soil with a pH around 6.0–7.5. Moderate irrigation keeps the roots happy without waterlogging, letting colors shine through late spring to fall.
