Has anyone tried this? They are the long flowered wild four o clocks and are sopposed to be pretty hardy. Would love to know of people's experiences with this plant. How does it do compared to regular four o' clock? How does the scent compare?

Hi,
I winter sowed mine. They came up great. They are very easy to grow like the regular kind. I love the look of the blooms. I grow regular 4 o'clocks too but have never smelled them at the same time to compare.
They develop a big root that you can bring inside for winter just like regular 4 o'clocks too.

I have been watching this to see the answer and that is so good to know. My order for them (and a bunch of other things! :)) should be going out in the next day or two.
