Enchant your garden with the captivating beauty of Mirabilis ‘Marbles White-Red’, a shrub-like, tuberous plant commonly known as 'Four O' Clocks'. This tender, subtropical perennial charmer, commonly grown as a summer season annual in the UK, produces a profusion of exquisite raspberry-splashed white flowers that emit a sweet evening fragrance, perfuming the air from late afternoon to early morning which attract night-blooming insects and hummingbird moths, adding a touch of magic to gardens after dark.


Garden care:
Seedlings should be potted up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
