About Wild Four O'Clock, Mirabilis Seed
Wild Four O'Clock (Mirabilis nyctaginea) is a distinctive North American native plant. Magenta-purple flowers open later in the day on branching plants, offering nectar to evening-active pollinators. It matures at approximately 48 inches tall and flowers from late spring to early summer through early to mid summer through mid to late summer. Plant it in full sun, in dry to medium conditions, with loamy soil, sandy soil or dry soil. Space plants 24–36 inches apart for healthy growth and airflow.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Provide suitable spacing and airflow, water near the soil surface, and remove heavily affected debris if leaf spots, mildew, or stem decline appear. Avoid keeping crowns continuously saturated unless the species requires wet conditions.
Inspect seedlings and young growth for slugs, chewing insects, and sap-feeding pests. Healthy established native plants often tolerate light feeding; identify the pest before using the least disruptive labeled control.
