FREE: MARVEL of PERU. (Mirabilis jalapa) 4 O'CLOCK SEEDS

The listing, MARVEL of PERU. (Mirabilis jalapa) 4 O'CLOCK SEEDS has ended.

Offering 25 seeds, Marvel of Peru or commonly called 4 O'Clock. These are realy remarkable plants, some of the things that I have learned from growing and researching them are that the flower can change color from year to year? and that the Four o'clock plants are used to make dyes with. The seeds of the four o'clock can be used to make cosmetics. The four o'clock is also used to make a crimson colored food coloring to dye foods like cakes and icings. In 2012 I had Pink, White, Yellow and a Hot pink flowers and last year they were Hot pink with 1 bush of Yellow.Can't wait for this year to see what pops up. In warmer climates they will spread and can become invasive if not kept in check, in colder climates they say you have to plant yearly but I have had mine in the same spot for 6 years and have never had to replant? They are deer resistant, Butterflies and Humming Birds are attracted to them as are Japanese Beetles, which is a fatal attraction because when the Japanese Beetle ingests them it kills the pesty varmits, which I consider a huge plus. The seeds resemble pepper corns. These are great for large areas that need some color. I have added stock pictures of the seedlings [#3] the root [4] some of the colors they can bloom in [5] and the actual seed [6]
