Under the synonym Goeppertia makoyana, it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
💡 As the leaves of the peacock plant grow slowly, the patterns on them also develop, allowing the plant to maintain its beauty.
🌳 The Peacock plant is an excellent choice for landscaping and gardening, providing a vibrant touch of color beneath the shade of taller species like Lady Palms. It thrives in both sheltered yards and along roadsides. This plant is particularly popular for its striking, vividly colored leaves, which are large and make a stunning display. In climates warm enough to support it, the Peacock plant offers breathtaking ground cover. It pairs beautifully with Orchids, Bromeliads, and Aglaonemas, enhancing any garden's visual appeal.
