I have the same kind. My favorite flower as a child. We used to collect the seeds and play with them. There was a lady down the block she grew them very tall also. I have had trouble growing them. But now I live in zone 7B Tenn, so maybe they will give me flowers now if I plant a lot of them, some have to grow.. Thanks so much for this. Yours are so beautiful. You made my day.

@@DiggerX8X There are two plants that just won't grow for me and one is 4 O'Clocks. I don't understand (I was a master gardener for years) I grow yust about everything. Is there a secret to growing them. I have planted over 50 seeds all different ways and different media it is frustrating . Is there a secret? Only one germinated. Thanks...

Cherokee Rose Oh no, germination problems? I must say, these were planted from root, not seed. So, well developed to begin with. I've never had problems getting them to grow from seed or cutting. Nothing special, just keep seeds moist around 60 degrees. Have you tried setting them in warmer place or on heating pad? I hear the extra heat really helps lots of seeds pop off. And keep them WET. Overnight or 24 hour soak couldn't hurt. The old warm wet paper towel in a bag trick maybe. I'm germinating some right now. I don't bury them in more than 1/4 inch. I will document the 4'oclock seed progress well for you 😸

Where are the hummingbirds? They are the favorite plants for them. I raised a long line of mine, just as you have yours, and my husband and I would take a " tour of our estate" every evening around 8 in the summer, when they would open their blooms to full extent and we saw our first hummingbirds. They would flicker between the blossoms drinking their nectar. We had never seen them before but with our 4 o'clocks, we had them all the time. The aroma of these little flowers is very sweet and strong. Along our dinning room windows and living room, we loved the scent every evening. I only planted them one and after that, they came up every year on their own. I heard they don't like to be transplanted from a flower pot to the ground. They HAVE to be planted directly in the grown to grow. I think in a flower pot, unless it's HUGE, they would not do good. Remember, the height of the top requires that much room below grown for roots. So don't waste your time.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I love hummingbirds. I got this 4 O'clock "fire" mix I'm working on with red/yellow, red, orange colors I am working with. I agree that planting 4 O'clocks in pots is not great because the roots get SO big like a huge carrot eventually. Unless it is a 5 gallon bucket size or bigger, maybe 😸

@@DiggerX8X Hi Digger! Thank you for your reply. I can see how big your plants are standing behind you. They make me feel nostalgic because they look just like the ones I had at my home. I also found out that the colors I originally planted didn't come up. I lost the pretty red, hot pink and two toned ones and instead I got a lot of yellow ones and white ones. I suspect the fancy colors were hybridized from the original colors which are white and yellow. This happens in many other plants too. For instance in carnations, the MOST fragrant flowers are white. Because that is the ORIGINAL PLANT. All the other colors come from that color and don't have as strong of a scent. But keep on working. You are doing very good. DO you also get a lot of hummingbirds? I have a tiny patio garden so I don't have room for 4 o'clocks so I bought a hummingbird feeder with 3 spouts. I've managed to attract ONE HUMMER but he only comes occasionally but he never touches my petunias, snap dragons or geraniums.

I am developing (in most natural unintrusive way) the land which hasn't had anyone living on it in 30 years. It's my 2nd year here. I have located all the lillies and daffodils, perimeter shrubs the previous owners planted. Found an apple tree. There are LOTS of birds here, including hummingbirds and my big bronze turkeys.

Oh no! I've heard they can become invasive. I'm guessing they're dropping seeds all over your grass and sprouting up. Try raking the hell out of them so they can't develop, try it often as seedlings emerge.

@@DiggerX8X Thanks, my garden is pretty amazing! I had 2 different brands of seeds. A few plants grew straight up with very little outward growth. More like a bouquet of flowers 🥴 I’m going to try pruning them too even though there’s so little to cut off. Most of them are huge with toms of flowers. I’m collecting tons of seeds from the better plants for next year. I have Colorado four o’clocks-the original variety I bought at a water wise plant sale and fell in love with. They spread sideways like you wouldn’t believe! I don’t think they’d grow 6 feet tall. I wish I could post a picture. And the Marvel of Peru variety which is what you seem to have. Those are white, yellow, pink, and the reddish pink. How were your orange ones? Where did you get those seeds? I can’t believe I want to grow even more Lol! They are perennial where I live but I’m going to dig up the duds and replace them.

I don't all together understand your Canadian zone hardiness map. Your numbers differ from USDA zone map. 4 O'clocks are NOT typically hardy enough to grow perennially in zone 5 (USDA) where I live. These huge plants you see grow back because they are planted along the south (sunfacing) wall of a basement that stays 65ish degrees all year. I hope this link will help you up there: www.torontogardens.com/2009/05/why-toronto-is-zone-6-and-zone-5.html/

Mine are falling over... their too tall! How do you keep them up?! Also how do you prune them? They’re so out of control at my Place, and look so bad when I trim them back. I don’t know anything about gardening so don’t know the difference between pruning and trimming
@DiggerX8X

Ha ha that is awesome! Once they get too tall they DO flop over. Pruning is SELECTIVE trimming. Four O'clocks are great to learn pruning on because they regrow so vigorously. Just cut them back to a shape that supports itself (3-4 foot tall). They will branch off where you cut them. Each single stem you cut will grow 2 or 3 off shoots. If you cut all the flower buds off, you won't see much color display this season, but your big plants sound older and they will grow more flowers. Especially next season. Pruning back branches of plants encourages roots to grow. The cuttings may even develop roots if you set them in soil/water 😸
