Coming from rocky upland canyons of Arizona, Texas, and Mexico, with some flowing summer water, this Four O'Clock is extremely drought-tolerant but is not averse to water. It typically blooms after rains and opens at night to be pollinated by nocturnal hummingbird moths. Your nose will guide you to its exquisitely fragrant blooms shining white on a moonlit summer night. Very narrow and very long arching red tubes open flat, exposing all the beautiful detail of its magenta-centered white flower and extremely long and curling stamens. The leaves are blue-green and heart-shaped and form a mound. Poor soil? No problem. Deer or Snails? Still no problem. And not a spreader like the common Four O'Clocks, so don't worry. Just enjoy.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
