The Marvel-of-Peru flower, also known as Mirabilis jalapa, is a captivating ornamental plant that brings vibrant colors and a touch of mystery to gardens across the world. Native to tropical South America, especially Peru, this flower has earned admiration not only for its beauty but also for its intriguing blooming habits and variety of colors all on the same plant!
The Marvel-of-Peru is best known for its late-day blooming habit—flowers typically open in the late afternoon or early evening, hence the name “Four o’clock flower.” This timing is nature’s clever strategy to attract nocturnal pollinators like moths.But perhaps the most magical feature is its variety of flower colors—a single plant can produce yellow, pink, white, red, and even bi-colored or striped flowers at the same time. Some blooms may even change color as they age!
