Blue Butterfly Pea Seeds- 25 SEEDS Clitoria Ternatea Asian Pigeonwings Tropical

Description: You will receive a packet of 25 Seeds from our Blue Butterfly Pea plants growing in sunny Florida. Home grown using all natural and regenerative growing methods with lots of love and zero chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. The seeds are from our most recent harvest and are fresh viable seeds ready to plant. Growing Info & TipsBlue butterfly pea is a stunning flowering vine perfect for trellising. It is fast growing and can even bloom within 6-8 weeks of planting from seed. It likes full sun to part shade (too much shade may reduce flowering) and prefers a rich moist soil. It can be grown as an annual in all zones and a perennial in zones 9b 10, & 11. You can pinch the tips of vines to keep it more compact if desired. For Planting the Seeds: Nicking & soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can speed up & increase germination success, & i do highly recommend doing so. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in pre-moistened potting mix in a small pot or seedling tray. Keep moist in partial shade until germination, when they can be moved to full sun exposure. Seeds can take 10 days to germinate so be patient. Germination rate should be very high (>75-85% or better). Taste and PreparationThe flowers are edible, delicious and high in antioxidants. They add a beautiful touch to salads or garnishing on a cake etc. The flowers, fresh or dried, are also nice prepared as a tea. The tea is a lot of fun… fresh or dried flowers can be steeped in hot water to make a bright neon blue tea…add a bit of lemon juice, or make lemonade with it and the neon blue will turn to magenta! FUN! (The acidity level effects the color). Teal can be made by adding something with a high ph. The flower can also be used to make a natural dye. Please Note: All of my seeds are fresh and viable. Growing plants from seeds is fun! The majority of the time it is a success but sometimes it’s not. This just is the way it is with nature and gardening. I hope you experience success with all the seeds, however because I am not there to plant them, I cannot be responsible for germination failure due to improper planting or climate conditions etc. I do include a detailed note with planting advice with your order to help ensure your success.
