Blue Butterfly Pea Seeds (Clitoria ternatea): A Stunning and Versatile Climbing Plant

Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a captivating tropical vine known for its vibrant blue flowers and remarkable versatility. The Blue Butterfly Pea is known for its vivid blue, trumpet-shaped flowers.

This fast-growing vine features slender green leaves that create a lush backdrop for the striking blooms.  Each pack contains seeds of this enchanting plant, making it a fantastic addition for gardeners looking to enhance their landscapes with a splash of color and unique appeal.

Reaching heights of up to 10 feet, Blue Butterfly Pea thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Its striking flowers not only add visual interest to your garden but are also edible and can be used to create stunning blue tea, natural food coloring, and culinary delights. The flowers bloom throughout the warm months, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for a pollinator-friendly garden.

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Soaking seeds overnight can enhance germination. Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for their vigorous growth. Provide sturdy support for this climbing vine, as it will readily twine around trellises, fences, or other structures. Regular watering will help promote healthy growth, but the Blue Butterfly Pea is also drought-tolerant once established.
