Mirabilis jalapa-Four O'clock. These get their name from the fact that the flowers typically open up late afternoon. The plants in Dickinson did much better than the ones in Fargo-by August they were twice the size of the ones in Fargo and had much better bloom. It will be interesting to see if they perform the same way next year.
