Wild Four O'Clock

Mirabilis multiflora

Wild Four O'Clock (Mirabilis nyctaginea) is a perennial forb native to Central and Western US states (such as Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, and Colorado) that can thrive in USDA Zones 3–8. Reaching a mature height of 2–3 feet with a stout, bushy, deep-rooted growth habit, it features smooth, heart-shaped green leaves and produces clusters of small, magenta-pink trumpet-shaped flowers that open in late afternoon. It thrives in dry to mesic prairies, fields, and roadsides in full sun and is ideal for deep taproot soil stabilization, prairie restoration, and hawkmoth pollinator support.
