Caesalpinia Pulcherrima, or commonly known as Peacock Flower, is a spectacular tropical/subtropical shrub that produces bright orange flowers that will fill your garden with color and life. The beautifully colored flowers of the Peacock Flower resemble butterflies and they attract… well, unsurprisingly, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Peacock Flower is a sun-loving plant and thrives in the hottest, sunniest sites of gardens. It can also be grown as a container plant.
Besides looking spectacular in any garden, the Peacock Flower also has plenty of medicinal uses. It has been used in ancient times as a medicine to cure minor injuries and to relieve fever. The flower is also known to have weight-loss benefits and anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties. A boiled mixture of Peacock Flower’s leaves, bark, and rots is thought to relieve kidney pain, fever, sore throat, and gastrointestinal disorders, but we do not recommend trying this at home without your doctor’s consent.
