Plants bloom late in the summer till frost and are hardy in some southern climates. Plants are tolerant to dust, fumes and soot. Flowers remain shut on cloudy days and open late in the afternoon on sunny days. Once you start four o'clocks they will generally re-seed themselves and provide blooms every summer.
