Butterfly Pea "Double Sky Blue" - Live Plant
Double Sky Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea)
Description
Double Sky Blue Butterfly Pea is a soft-toned, fuller-petaled form of the classic butterfly pea. Instead of a single bloom layer, this variety produces ruffled, layered petals in a gentle sky-blue shade, giving the flowers a more ornamental, rose-like appearance. The lighter blue color offers a softer garden presence while maintaining the same edible and herbal qualities as traditional varieties.
