Re;tubers / four o'clocks

I would guess you could store them. Then you'd have bigger plants the
next year. I've seen them get 7' high or better here and I believe
Andrea told me she saw one around her area that was 10' high or more??
Must have been amazing.

Here they are grown as annuals.  The 3 ft tall bush I get from a single seed

is plenty of plant so it's not necessary to dig the tubers.  However, I

intend to mention that it can be done.  They should be stored like dahlias.
