Formula Mix Four O’Clock seeds produce a vibrant blend of trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, white, and magenta, known for blooming in the late afternoon—hence their name. Native to South America and popular in gardens since the 1800s, these bushy, heat-tolerant plants grow 18–36 inches tall and spread up to 24 inches, forming dense, colorful mounds. Easy to grow, Four O’Clocks thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, and should be sown directly after the last frost. They require minimal care, just occasional watering and deadheading for tidiness, and mature in about 60–80 days. Ideal for borders, containers, or mass plantings, they attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and their fragrant blooms add charm to evening gardens.
The Four O'clock Tall Mix is a wonderful combination of beautiful and easy to grow white, crimson, violet, and yellow flowers. This variety is named for its characteristic of blooming tall flowers and giving off a beautiful aroma after 4pm. The Tall Mix will grow great in barrels, tubs, and large pots.
