Need help identifying this weed

[Amateur Gardener]

This weed has been growing in my frontyard for years. No matter how many times I pull it out, it keeps growing back up again.

How tall is it? Looks like a Four O-clock.

I agree, they're night bloomers.

Four o'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa) are bushy flowering tender perennial plants, a long-standing garden favorite often grown as an annual outside its hardiness range (zones 7 to 10). Native to tropical South America, this tuberous-rooted plant produces slightly pointed oval leaves on multi-branching stems. Varieties include flowers in shades of white, yellow, pink, red, and magenta colors, as well as splashed/marbled blooms in orange and red.
