Taylors Bulbs - Jalapa Mirabilis

Bring late summer colour to your garden with this pack of Mirabilis Jalapa bulbs; once grown, the flowers are known to open in the afternoon, inspiring the alternative name 'Four O'Clock Flower'. When the flowers are open, the trumpet-shaped blooms produce a pleasant fragrance for you to enjoy during late summer evenings in your outdoor space.

This particular flower variety is best suited for container growth, making them a great choice if you have a smaller garden; in warmer areas, border growth is possible but results may not be as successful.
