Red four o'clock flowers (Mirabilis jalapa) add vibrant color and fragrance to gardens with their trumpet-shaped blooms that open in late afternoon. Their rich red petals attract pollinators like hummingbirds and moths, enhancing biodiversity. In garden design, they serve as striking border plants or focal points in mixed beds, offering evening beauty and a sweet scent. Their tuberous roots can be stored over winter, making them a versatile choice for seasonal displays.
