I already planted some Four O'Clock tubers this year. Then today I sowed seeds of Broken Colors. I was waiting and watching to see when the self sown 4 0'clocks seeds would start popping up. I figgured that would be the best time to sow my new seeds.
I do have the 4 O'Clocks comming up in lots of garden areas. But I have mostly the solid colored ones. I used to grow broken colors years ago and remember how pretty they are. So I bought some seeds this spring.
