Description
Mirabilis Jalapa, (four o’clock flower) Hardy Perennial. Best grown in the ground rather than pots. The bulbs look like black carrots and only ever come in mixed colours. However we are able to roughly judge colour by looking at the tip of the bulb, so you will receive a good mix, normally, pink, white, yellow, mauve. The images are from our garden. A beautiful strong perfume will fill your garden throughout the evening through to early morning.
