- Yellow Four O' Clock will produce gorgeous yellow colored blooms that flower throughout the summer months.
- The trumpet shaped blooms are 1 to 2 inches wide and sit atop stems and foliage that grow anywhere between 12 to 36 inches tall. Aptly named, the Yellow Four O' Clock flowers will start to open up in the evening hours, around 4pm.
- Four O' Clocks are grown as a tender perennial flowering plant. These beauties will grow a deeply established root system, later wilting on the surface with the first frost. They return the following year from roots and will flower normally.
