The flowers stay closed during the day, then open wide in late after noon, hence its common name. Incredibly fragrant. Attracts hummingbirds and moths. Tender perennial. 24” tall (70 cm). Start seed indoors and transplant at 9” spacing. The tuberous roots can be dug in fall, stored dry and replanted the next year.
