A picture of an emerging Four O'clock. These are root hardy to zone 7. the tops die down in the fall, but the plant comes back larger and stronger every year. They make big bulbous roots and can be left in the ground through the winter. They like hot weather and full sun to semi-shade. I forgot to say one of my books lists this plant as native to West Texas, Arizona,Colorado, Nevada, and Mexico, other books say it a naturalized plant from South America.
