Identify this plant.

I recently visited a local antique store, and they just had a seed exchange event. The manager told me to take as much of everything that I wanted, so I took some seeds. In one envelope that was hand labeled "Hibicus", there were some black seeds that I took. I figured the individual misspelled "Hibiscus", and I love hibiscus flowers, so I took them home. This is what I have growing. Google lens isn't much help, giving me results from various peppers, to 4 o'clocks.

Any ideas what this is?

Unless it's some kind of weird variety that I haven't seen, it definitely doesn't look like a hibiscus to me. The leaves on all the hibiscus that we have here at work are larger, and kinda serrated on the edges.

Kinda looks like pepper plant leaves but the few pepper plants that I've grown have all been shorter plants and bushier. Not to say they're all like that. I haven't grown a lot of peppers.

So, anyways, the point is, I have no idea what this is. Hopefully it'll start to bloom soon.

Did you top the ones to the right their awful tall?

The general consensus on Reddit is that they're Marvel of Peru (4 o'clocks). I don't really tend to them, never topped them. They just kind of maxed out and are maintaining, little blooms but not flowering.

Well not the one I was talking about but I agree on it.

Aaahh, lol I harvested yesterday. It was my first attempt at not topping the plants. That one grew to about 5 feet tall.
