Mirabilis jalapa is a tuberous-rooted perennial. Strong, bushy habit gives this plant the substance and character of a shrub. Muti-branched stems grow quickly to form a mounded clump 3'-4' high and wide. Scented, trumpet-shaped flowers in red, yellow or white, with variations of shades between.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
