Should I transplant Mirabilis now, how many per plant?

[jdashraf]

This is pic of my mirabilis paneri. My question is should I go for transplanting them now, if yes how many plants in 8 inch pot?

[jdashraf]

For "how many per plant", please read, "how many per pot" in the subject.

One more question please. Are they annuals or perennials?, bcoz I read that some of them are perennials and others are annuals.

Any one out there? ... looks like I have asked some silly question ....

Ashraf sb, Mirabilis jalapa or Gul-e-Abbas is a perennial in Pakistan can also be treated as an annual, one plant in a 12 inch pot is enough not more than that because more plants in a pot will restrict its growth and it will not reach its full potential, an 8 inch pot will also suffice but i would recommend at least a 12 inch pot

after planting feed them with a general purpose fertilizer 20-20-20 or DAP just half a teaspoon per pot and water freely.

ashraf sb they are not only perennial but hardy perennial once established it is hard to finish them from bed.they grow wildly from tuber and seeds year after year.
