'marvel of Peru' or' four o' clock plant'

Latin name: Mirabilis jalapa
Lexicool.com: "bella di notte, pianta erbacea ornamentale con fiori di color giallo, rosso o bianco, che si aprono la sera e si chiudono all'alba (fam. Nictaginacee)"
Any more detail on plant to enable confirmation? Sounds like the sort of name that could apply to more than one species
