Certified ExpertA.In your area, you will want to plant them a week before the last frost date in early spring. They are not completely hardy in your area, and the seeds will likely be killed off by the cold winter.

Now, with epsom salt... It is safe to spray them at any time, however it is advised that you spray while it is cloudy, or at least not in full sun, as there is a chance that the plant may get burned, or show spots. I recommend using epsom as an additive to watering as well! Here are the articles that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/four-oclocks/Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

Certified ExpertA.They will start to decline about this time of year in most places. Don't worry, though. These will come back next year.

January 14, 2019A.Some of them may die, but you should still get a few to germinate. It is always best to get them growing after about a year in storage to prevent die off.

Certified ExpertA.Four O'Clocks have the ability to change color and that may have happened. Or they may have reverted to original parentage. They are very colorful and can have different colors on the same stem.
I would harvest some of his seeds and see what you get in colors.
Here is more information about the old-fashioned Four O'Clocks.
