Mirabilis, meaning "amazing" in Latin, truly lives up to its name. Also called Four O’clocks or Marvel of Peru, this plant adds a touch of cottage garden charm with its vibrant hot pink blooms and striking foliage. Its unique habit of unfurling flowers in the evening fills the air with fragrance and attracts moths and other nighttime pollinators. While it’s not a cut flower, four o’clocks offer an abundance of blooms, require little maintenance, and create a captivating garden presence.
