Broken Colors Four O'Clock Seeds
Broken Colors Four O’Clock (Mirabilis jalapa ‘Broken Colors’) is a striking heirloom selection noted for its splashed, streaked, and speckled blooms. Flowers appear in vivid shades of magenta, rose, yellow, and white, each petal marked with irregular brush‑strokes and broken patterns that vary from plant to plant.
Four o’clocks are bushy, warm‑season perennials (often grown as annuals in cooler climates) that open their fragrant blooms in late afternoon and evening, making them ideal for paths, patios, and cottage borders. Plants form dense clumps of foliage topped with continuous color through the warm months.
