Marvel-of-Perou (Four o'clock flower), Exotic mix (annual)
Mirabilis jalapa
The seemingly magic flower opens its funnel-shaped flowers late in the afternoon. It blossoms into the early morning hours as it exudes a deep,heavy perfume. Moths are attracted to the scent. The flower itself is a miracle. The individual petals vary in colour or sometimes, even within the same petal. Be sure to get to know this one! Height reaches 100 cm.
