Feature Plant

Arachis pintoi

Commonly known as Yellow Peanut Plant, Arachis pintoi is closely related to the peanut plant, but does not produce peanuts. Normally used as groundcovers in the landscape, it is also a good candidate for hanging baskets. The plant bears bright yellow flowers on slender stalks that are 8 to 10cm tall. The flowers open in the morning and last until late afternoon. Arachis pintoi performs best and produces more flowers when grown under full sun.
