Calathea makoyana - 'Peacock Plant' (S)
Calathea Makoyana or the Peacock Plant gets its name from its striking leaf patterns, resembling peacock feathers. Whilst it produces clusters of small white flowers in spring and summer it is mainly grown for its decorative leaf patterns and colour. It is suitable for a shaded spot or as an under story plant in a garden and is perfect for any aspiring home gardener.
