A Night-Blooming Beauty
The Marvel-of-Peru (Mirabilis jalapa), also known as the Four O’Clock Flower, is a fascinating plant that brings color and charm to gardens worldwide. Known for its unique blooming habits and vibrant hues, this flower is both beautiful and intriguing.One of the most remarkable traits of the Marvel-of-Peru is its color-changing flowers. A single plant can produce blooms in multiple colors—pink, yellow, red, white, or even bi-colored patterns. Even more fascinating, the flowers can change shades as they mature, creating a dynamic display in your garden.Unlike most flowers that bloom in the morning, the Marvel-of-Peru opens its blossoms in the late afternoon—around 4 PM—and remains open throughout the night, closing by morning. This unique habit makes it a favorite for evening gardens, where its fragrance fills the air, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths.
