That is a four o'clock. It's an annual that easily reseeds itself. It's an old plant that not many people grow anymore. My Dad always grew them. I still grow them....they've come up with a lot of new colors since I was a kid. The bi-color ones are beautiful! I have some growing this year that are speckled with pink & yellow. The seeds are large so they're easy to collect in the fall if you want to grow them in another spot. I just let mine fall where they want. Then in the spring when they start coming up I move some of them to wherever I want them.

It is called "Four O' Clock" and the seeds are black when ripe for picking off the plant. Save and replant next Spring. They also come in solid and variegated colors and they have a sweet fragrance and bloom later in the day; hence how it's name derived.
