Make More Of Summer Evenings! Colourful Trumpet Flowers Open Late In The Day, Bringing Fragrance And Surprise To Your Patio!
Known as the 'Four O'Clock Flower', Mirabilis jalapa opens its colourful blooms as the day moves towards evening, so you can sit back and appreciate them before they close by the following morning.
And there is plenty to admire! This mix brings together deep magenta, clean white, bright yellow and beautiful bicolours. Individual plants can even carry flowers in different colours - no wonder it is called 'Marvel of Peru'!
The trumpet-shaped flowers also offer a lovely sweet fragrance. Grow them beside a seating area or along a path where you can enjoy their scent as well as their colour.
Reaching around 60-90cm tall, the plants develop a bushy shape that fills out summer beds and borders beautifully. They also suit deep containers, giving their long, tuberous roots room to grow while bringing the display closer to your patio.
Choose a warm, sheltered position in full sun with well-drained soil. Grow the roots on under cover before planting outdoors after the last frosts and protect them from freezing conditions over winter.
Supplied as 10 bare roots, size 1, ready to pot up and grow on in frost-free conditions before planting out.
Important: Harmful if eaten. Wear gloves when handling.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when it's due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
