Mirabilis jalapa, ‘Four O’ Clock’, a nifty caudiciform shrub from Peru with bright fuchsia colored flowers. Grows easily and eventually forms a large and woody caudex. The leaves are thin and will wilt rapidly if not watered enough but will come back fast when watered. Elevate the plants a little when repotting so the character of the caudex can be seen.

Our plants are in 4-inch pots – not the size in the photo.
