Butterfly Pea "White" - Live Plant

White Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea)

Description

White Butterfly Pea is a rare and elegant form of the classic tropical vine, featuring pure white blooms instead of the traditional blue or purple. The flowers maintain the same graceful shape and climbing habit, offering a softer, more understated look in the garden. This variety provides ornamental beauty while still being suitable for culinary and herbal uses.
