Mirabilis longiflora
“Angels Trumpets”
“Sweet Four O’Clock”

Extremely drought tolerant, this easy & reliable Southwest perennial bears exquisitely fragrant blooms. You’ll have to visit them after 5 PM or before 10 AM, as that’s when the flowers open to attract you & the nocturnal moths that pollinate them. Pretty pure white funnel flowers with deep magenta centers open out from long arching red tubes & sport even longer magenta stamens. “Angel’s Trumpets” forms a carefree 3’ x 3’ mound of attractive blue-green heart shaped leaves. Not fussy about soil, it’s also deer & snail resistant. Long lived & tuberous rooted, it’s not invasive like common “Four O’Clocks.” A dramatic addition to the moonlight garden!
