I am struggling to identify this plant. It dies back in winter and is back bigger and better each year.
I hope it is not a weed as it is very pretty.
I have spent ages trying to ID it, but it does not match anything. Took photos to gardencentre but no luck!
Thanks for any help

It's the 4 o'clock plant, so named because it blooms in the evening and attracts nocturnal pollinators. However, I've seen hummingbirds attracted to them in the evenings and early mornings. It readily reseeds itself. I allow it to grow all over the place and just remove it where I want other plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirabilis_jalapa
