The Marvel of Peru Four O' Clock boasts a stunning array of multicolored blooms. Each trumpet-shaped flower is a delightful mix of vibrant hues, with splashes and streaks of yellow, pink, red, and white. The flowers of the Marvel of Peru Colors Four O' Clock can change color as they age, shifting to a different combination of colors on the same plant over time! These delightful perennials, often grown as annuals, grow bushes up to 3 feet tall and wide with dark green, heart-shaped leaves. The flowers open in the late afternoon, filling the air with a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance and attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths. Plant in spring after the last frost, and watch as they bloom from summer until fall while adding evening charm to your garden. Four O' Clock flowers get their name because they typically open in the late afternoon around 4 PM and stay open throughout the night.
