These fast-growing plants thrive in hot climates and poor soils, making them perfect for summer gardens, pollinator beds, and low-maintenance landscapes. Known for their stunning trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, yellow, red, white, and even bi-colors, each plant can produce multiple color variations on the same bush. Four O’Clocks are drought tolerant once established, attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and can reseed themselves easily, returning year after year in warm zones. Simply direct sow after your last frost in full sun, and enjoy continuous blooms through the heat of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow To Grow From Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun: \u003c\/strong\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eAllow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering.
