Why Won’t My Four O’clocks Bloom: How To Get Four O’clock Flowers

Why Won’t My Four O’clocks Bloom: How To Get Four O’clock Flowers

Last Modified November 30, 2016 By Staff Writer

What should you do when your beautiful Four O’clocks aren’t blooming? Why are they seeming to hide from you, despite having buds? It’s always a shame when you’ve grown the plant up from a seedling but can’t seem to coax flowers from it. Here are some good tips to get them to shine.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s so frustrating not to get that reward you’ve been working towards. It’s a common complaint with four o’clocks, in particular, and there’s usually a very good explanation.
  • Sometimes they bloom during the day if the sky is overcast and the air is cool.
  • This means that the flowers will only open when daytime temperatures cool off, often a lot later than 4 pm.

“Four o’clock flowers, on the other hand, respond to temperature, and they don’t like the heat. This means that the flowers will only open when daytime temperatures cool off, often a lot later than 4 pm. They may open at 6, or 8, or only when the sun is down.”
