4 O'Clock bushes are vigorous growers that flourish in most soils. They are so named because during late afternoon every day their blooms open to release fragrance. It is a Southern tradition to have 4 O'Clock bush near the front door so that when one returns home after work, he or she can be greeted by a welcoming scent. This year, Graham had so many successful starts that she was able to give 4 O'Clock plants to her Grammy, her Great-Grandma and Daddy's friend Gloria.
