Zones 8-11GerminationMirabilis jalapa White, or the white four o'clock flower, can be propagated from seeds with straightforward germination steps. To enhance germination, consider scarifying the seeds by gently scratching or nicking the seed coat. This helps water penetrate the seed, promoting quicker and more uniform germination. Once scarified, sow the seeds in well-draining soil, covering them lightly. Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period, and provide a warm and sunny environment, as four o'clock flowers thrive in full sunlight. Germination usually occurs within a couple of weeks. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves, they can be transplanted into their final outdoor location. With attention to scarification and suitable growing conditions, you can successfully cultivate Mirabilis jalapa White and enjoy its charming white blossoms in your garden.
