Are the 4:0clocks in shade, partial shade or sun? Mine never did well in much shade.

Also what time is she looking at them? Their 4 o'clock name is approximate--could be hers open a little bit later than that so maybe if she looked later they'd be open.

they are in part sun part shade. she had it in morning sun only as it gets so hot here. my red ones are in the same conditions her s was in. they bloom fine. and do have some in shade that do fine too so i know about 4 o clocks just wish mine were so self seeding hehe giving these away.

hers dont open they dont even look like they open and just die off by morning. i went out there at 9 pm and they werent open. dont get it

Are they in the ground or in a container? My container ones were awful, but the ones I have in the ground do just fine.
