Four O Clock Fuchsia Flower Seeds

Beautiful Fuchsia Color Blooms Four O' Clock Seeds. 

Minimum 20 Seeds per package.

There is so much to say about this beautiful plant and the first thing will be the aroma. I have it planted by my back patio and all summer to winter I have enjoyed the beautiful smell the blooms give. It is soft but very noticeable when I walk out on to my patio.

Four O’ Clock flowers only open in the afternoon or on cloudy days but the aroma is worth the wait. They grow very bushy and full of fuchsia color flowers. Plants often self-sow. The roots form tubers that may be dug up and stored over the winter. Shorter varieties are fine for containers. Plants are heat and drought tolerant, but when the temps stayed in the high 90's (plus) I gave them a drink every morning and they did very well.

How to Sow and Plant:
Four O’ Clocks may be grown from seed sown early indoors and transplanted outside after frost, or sown directly in the garden after frost.

Sowing Directly in the Garden:
Direct sow seeds in average soil in full sun after all danger of frost.
Prepare the soil by removing weeds and working organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth.

Thin to stand 12-18 inches apart when seedlings are 1-2 inches high. Plants need about 1 inch of rain per week during the growing season. Stake the plants when they are about 4' high to keep them upright if a strong wind blows through.
