The inch-wide flowers have slightly ruffled petals and 10 long, red protruding stamens as accents (except the pure yellow form).

As the inflorescence elongates, it produces new flowers at the top 1/3, and promptly sheds the lower old flowers.

The pods form quickly at the bottom of the inflorescence, and the flower buds open a few at a time, so that buds, flowers, and seed pods appear simultaneously.

The fruits are legumes looking very much like pea pods, but they are poisonous. As they mature they turn hard and brown and when ripe they split open noisily releasing the brown beans.

Pruning: Peacock flower benefits from pruning, and can be shaped to tree form or shrubby bush form. Peacock Flower Tree 💖

It grows quickly before flowering, but while flowering growth virtually stops. Prune to any desired height in late autumn or winter to control height and spread.

Peacock Flower Trimming

To get a bushier Peacock Tree, more compact shrub you can even cut Peacock flower to the ground in winter and will recover nicely.

It flowers on new wood so do not prune in the spring as this could delay flowering until September, meaning four to five months of flowering loss.
