About

Peacock Flower produces clusters of flamboyant yellow and orange flowers that resemble peacock feathers. This vibrant species is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant because of its showy, multicoloured blooms. The delicate, intricate pattern on the flowers enhances their resemblance to a peacock's magnificent tail. Each petal is delicately ruffled, adding to the feather-like appearance of the blossoms. The striking contrast between the warm yellow and orange hues makes this plant truly stand out.
