Lastly--this is the biggest, dug up root of all--the one my BIG 4's plant grew from last Summer--which was easily3'x4' overall. This has put out only one, massive shoot-to-be! I just know it will produce a huge plant !!!!

I hope this gives you all some options with this plant. mMany of you have gotten seeds of this 4 O'clock from me.
Of course--many of the 100's of seeds that a 'bush" of this plant can produce, have, probably fallen to the ground and will come up as volunteers. Look for them--they can be moved easily.....or potted up and shared.
Their "cotyledons" look just like MG's. But when the true leaves emerge, they are pointed.

Just wanted to note also, that when you dig them up and have left a section of the old stem on them--do not worry!
The old stem will fall away in time--just like an umbilical cord, and leave just the scabbed over "scar" of where it was attached. THAT is from where the new shoots will come from!!!!

Any more questions? You know where to find me!!!! Gita
