🌸 Blue Butterfly Pea

Clitoria ternatea

A stunning and versatile tropical climber, Blue Butterfly Pea is grown for its vibrant blue (and occasional white) flowers, which are as useful as they are beautiful.

💙 Why You’ll Love It

• Produces striking electric blue flowers
• Flowers change colour from blue to purple/pink with lemon juice
• Perfect for tea, desserts, cocktails & natural food colouring
• Fast-growing climbing vine to approx. 2m
• Attracts beneficial insects and pollinators
• Fixes nitrogen — great as a soil-improving companion plant

🍵 Culinary & Garden Uses

The flowers can be used:

• Fresh in herbal tea (a beautiful deep blue brew)
• Dried or powdered for natural colouring

A fun bonus — the colour reacts to pH, turning from blue to pink or purple when citrus is added.

Leaves can also be used as stock feed, making this a multifunctional plant for productive gardens.
