Four O'clocks are one of the hardiest and easiest flowers to grow and, I think the one of the most rewarding! They have the most wonderful fragrance in the evenings - I have them planted near my back porch so I can relax out there and enjoy the sweet aroma in the evenings. They also have a profusion of flowers from early spring to frost! They can take full sun or shade and dry conditions. New plants are easy to grow from seed and seeds are easy to harvest, being about the size of a pea. The hawkmoths and hummingbird moths LOVE these, and can be seen dashing from one flower to the next every evening during the summer. I can't say enough good about these wonderful flowers!
