White Desert Four O'Clock
Mirabilis multiflora 'Bella Blanca'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Nyctaginaceae
Plant Description: This low growing perennial has sage green oval leaves which creates an attractive backdrop for the white, bell shaped blossoms that come in the summer. This white-flowered cultivar comes from Pleasant View, Utah. Spreads from a single taproot, making it easy to clean up at the end of the growing season. Requires little or no additional water and does not perform well if overwatered.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
