If youre looking for a native powerhouse that truly comes alive when the sun begins to set, Desert Four OClocks are a spectacular addition to any local landscape. This robust perennial forms a massive, shrub-like mound of succulent, deep green leaves that can reach 2 to 3 feet tall and up to 4 feet wide, making it a fantastic filler for those wide-open garden spaces. I always recommend planting these in your hottest, most sun-drenched spots; they are incredibly drought-tolerant and feature a deep taproot that laughs at the summer heat. The real show begins in late afternoon when the trumpet-shaped, magenta-purple flowers pop open, releasing a delicate fragrance that draws in hummingbird moths. Best of all, the leathery foliage and sturdy structure make it highly resistant to deer and rabbits. It is a rugged, water-wise beauty that brings a unique “night-owl” charm to your backyard sanctuary.
