Description

The listing, Beautiful Fuschia Four O'Clock Flower Seeds (25) has ended.

"Four O'Clocks", as the name implies, possess the curious habit of opening its blooms in late afternoon, remaining open all through the night.

Perhaps the real beauty of four o'clocks is that often their delicate appearance belies their tough resistance to prolonged drought & poor soil - along with a steely resolve against smoke, fumes and other atmospheric pollution.

Four o'clocks should be planted directly into the ground in early spring. Although usually listed as an annual, four o'clocks are very efficient about reseeding themselves, and for all intents and purposes are perennials that don't need replanting year after year.

This listing is for a quantity of 25 Four O'Clock seeds (Fuschia). As each plant matures and "self-plants" each year, make sure to space your plantings by a minimum of 12 - 16 inches.

I think it depends on whether they are planted in full or partial sun. We have some plants seeded from our original Four O'Clock that were planted in full sun - and are now 12 -14 years old - which have only grown to approximately 24-28". Our "mother" plant (now 15 years old) was planted in "morning sun" only - and 15 years later, it towers at almost 6 feet,with a 3" diameter stalk.

Oooh! That sounds wonderful! I'm lucky enough to be able to slam down a cup of coffee while getting ready for work at 6am...then don't get home from work until 11:30pm. Wish I had more time to enjoy the flowers!

I used to have bunches of these where I used to live in eastern WA, took some seeds with me when I moved but lost them in the moving shuffle. Now this auction is going to end before I get off work today:-( so I hope I have made a winning bid.

They are not a vine.More of a bush. My "mother plant" is planted in partial sun (morning only sun) and has come back each year larger than ever!
