| The Four-o'clocks are well known and were favourites with our grandmothers, just as they are admired by us today. The flowers remain closed until late afternoon, hence the name Four-o'clock. They are white, crimson, violet, yellow and striped. The plants are 2 feet tall, and during a season produce hundreds of blooms, starting in late Summer and continuing until cut down by frost. Four-o'clocks are useful for temporary hedges between the flower and vegetable garden. A few plants will fill the bare spaces found, in so many cases, between the house foundations and the walk leading to the backyard. In beds by themselves they are also attractive, but the range of colors is peculiar and difficult to combine with some other annuals. The plants often self sow. Otherwise sow the seeds thinly in the row where they are to grow as soon as danger from frost is passed. 6 seeds |
