About Seeds Four O'clock Marvel Of Peru Mirabilis Mix
An annual plant 20-30" (50-70 cm) high. The flowers are fragrant, funnel-shaped, 1" (2-3 cm) in diameter, in various colors with a unique pattern in the form of strokes and stripes on the petals. It is grown by sowing seeds in open ground. Blooms from July until frost. Used for growing in mixed borders and group plantings, both in sunny areas and in the shade. Planting instructions: The germinate quickly from seed started indoors and flower profusely in their first year. Set 3" (8 cm) diameter seedling pots in a tray six weeks before the last expected spring frost in your area. Fill the pots with sterile potting soil to within 1/2" (1 cm) of the rim. Pour 1" (3 cm) of water into the tray. Sow two four o'clock seeds on the soil surface of each pot. Press on the seeds lightly so they are in full contact with the soil. Cover the seeds with 1/4" (0.5 cm) of moist soil. Cover the tray of pots with a clear plastic bag. Set the tray in a warm spot, around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 C), to germinate. Mist the soil surface lightly with water if it begins to dry out before germination, which can take up to seven days. Remove the bag once sprouts emerge and move the tray to a window that receives six or more hours of sun each day. Pour 1" (3 cm) of water into the tray when the surface of the soil in the pots dries and empty the excess water out once the soil surface becomes moist. Bottom watering prevents wet foliage, which minimizes fun gal dis eases on the seedlings. Snip off the weaker seedling in each pot at the soil surface with small shears when the four o'clocks grow their second set of leaves. Continue to water the remaining seedling, as needed, until it's time to transplant them outdoors when the plants are 6 weeks old and the danger of frost has passed.
