Butterfly Pea "Double Blue" - Live Plant

Double Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea)

Description

Double Blue Butterfly Pea is a fuller, more dramatic form of the traditional blue variety. Instead of a single layer of petals, this selection produces richly layered, ruffled blooms in deep royal blue, creating a more ornamental, rose-like appearance. It maintains the same vigorous growth and culinary value as the single-petal form but offers enhanced visual impact for trellises and garden spaces.
