| Should I start to worry? I ordered a fragrant Mirabilis 'longiflora' (four o'clock) from an Ohio nursery about three weeks ago. It came as a dormant tuber in a 4-inch pot. The receipt noted that it it was still dormant. But now, after 3 weeks in warm, humid Houston - the pot shows no signs of life. I am keeping it slightly moist and protected from afternoon sun. Our daytime temps have been in the mid 70's.
When do these things break dormancy?

| I'm wondering if my M. jalapa tubers, saved from last year potted up in the greenhouse, are likely to put in another appearance. No sign of anything so far. |

| Hi Kristi, Can you tell me where you purchased Mirabilis Longiflora? I have been trying to find a place that sells them. Many thanks, gardenpaw |

| I got mine from flowerscentgardens. It took a long time to come out of dormancy, but it was really nice when it finally did. I don't think flowerscentgardens is shipping again until early next spring. |

| The Fragrant Path sells the seeds for Mirabilis longiflora. I do not believe that they have a website, and their catalog costs $2.00 to recieve but, they do carry many seeds for fragrant plants and flowers. Here is their address, if you wish to contact them: The Fragrant Path |
