Well, I'll be darned!
I've been growing Four O'Clocks for years and years.
Apparently I've never paid much attention, but lo and
behold, I found a patch of Custard and Cream today
while gathering seeds.
I had to check, check, and double check, but indeed the
different colored blooms are on the same plant. Some are
yellow and some are very faint, not quite white, but definitely
Custard and Cream.

'Custard and Cream' is interesting for its yellow, white, and bicolor blooms. The flowers open in the evening with a sweet fragrance.
Four O'Clocks are easy to grow from seed. Soak the seeds overnight, then direct sow in the garden in late spring, just covering them with soil. Even though the plants are annuals, they frequently overwinter here in zone 5, and they self-sow.
