Ellipses on scatter plot.

I created a scatter plot using following data:

dput(plot_df_1)

structure(list(samples = c("Aug-01", "Sep-01", "Oct-01", "Nov-01",
"Aug-02", "Sep-02", "Oct-02", "Nov-02", "Aug-03", "Sep-03", "Oct-03",
"Nov-03"), pcoa1 = c(0.190438129449005, 0.253276282924123, 0.0246195929847479,
0.00788842485758788, 0.0269614471832893, 0.000140155324667924,
0.0954317633965768, 0.0436598938436388, 0.00476818535960686,
0.00557702541876294, 0.106553387148706, 0.11910636118432), pcoa2 = c(0.00141971241687974,
0.116481439630919, 0.0205307911452035, 0.000206374218265552,
0.186419611939673, 0.194274107809662, 0.00916679980857703, 0.00526599722259877,
0.00137572216532783, 0.00206212384496798, 0.0870866417037191,
0.0214556775348287), Months = c("red", "blue", "orange", "black",
"red", "blue", "orange", "black", "red", "blue", "orange", "black")),
row.names = c(NA, -12L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

print(plot_df_1)

A tibble: 12 × 4

ggplot(plot_df_1, aes(x=pcoa1, y=pcoa2)) +
geom_point(aes(color = as.factor(samples))) +
labs(x="PCo 1 (69.9%)", y="PCo 2 (42.5%)") +
scale_color_manual(
values = c("Aug-01" = "red", "Sep-01" = "blue", "Oct-01" = "orange", "Nov-01" = "black",
"Aug-02" = "red", "Sep-02" = "blue", "Oct-02" = "orange", "Nov-02" = "black",
"Aug-03" = "red", "Sep-03" = "blue", "Oct-03" = "orange", "Nov-03" = "black")) +
geom_mark_ellipse(aes(group = samples, fill = "Months"))

I wan to add ellipses which shall cluster my samples as given in the graph legend and fill color of ellipses would be according to the "Months" column of my tibble as given above.
Can someone please tell the error in my script as I am unable to add ellipses correctly.
Regards
Hira

I don't have the package that has geom_mark_ellipse, but I thing all you have to do is use scale_fill_manual() instead of scale_color_manual()
