Clitoria ternatea

Type:

The Double Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a remarkable variety that captivates gardeners with its stunning, double-layered blue flowers. Each pack contains seeds of this vigorous vine, making it an excellent choice for adding a unique charm to your garden.

With lush green foliage providing a vibrant backdrop for its eye-catching blooms, the Double Blue Butterfly Pea is perfect for enhancing trellises, arbors, or fences. This fast-growing vine blooms throughout the warm months, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, which adds both beauty and ecological value to your outdoor space.

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to planting. Soaking seeds overnight can help improve germination. Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for robust growth.

Support this climbing vine with sturdy trellises or structures, as it thrives on vertical growth. Regular watering promotes healthy development, but once established, the Double Blue Butterfly Pea is also drought-tolerant.
