Double Lavender Butterfly Pea Seeds (Clitoria ternatea): A Gentle Touch of Elegance for Your Garden
The Double Lavender Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a stunning variety that enchants gardeners with its delicate, double-layered lavender flowers. Each pack contains seeds of this lovely vine, perfect for adding a soft touch of color to any outdoor space.
This fast-growing vine features lush green foliage that elegantly contrasts with its beautiful blooms, making it an eye-catching addition to trellises, arbors, or fences. The Double Lavender Butterfly Pea not only enhances your garden's aesthetic but also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, fostering a vibrant and lively ecosystem.
Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to planting. Soaking the seeds overnight can help improve germination. Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for optimal growth.
Support this vigorous climbing vine with sturdy structures, as it thrives on vertical growth. Regular watering will encourage healthy development, but once established, the Double Lavender Butterfly Pea is also drought-tolerant. With its charming double-layered blooms and ability to attract pollinators, this butterfly pea variety is a delightful addition to any garden, offering both beauty and ecological benefits!
