Red Peacock Flower Seeds produce a perennial flowering vine commonly known in the United States as red peacock flower. Plants develop vigorous climbing stems with green leaves and produce striking red, fan-shaped flowers resembling a peacock’s plumage. This plant thrives in full sun with well-drained fertile soil and is suitable for garden beds, trellises, fences, or container cultivation in temperate to subtropical climates. Red peacock flower attracts pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.
