5 Seeds Butterfly Pea Clitoria ternatea Double Pink Flower Vine

Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a fast-growing tropical climbing vine prized for its distinctive double-petaled blooms in soft pink, which appear throughout the warm season against bright green foliage. This tender perennial is commonly grown as an annual in cooler climates and is a favorite for trellises, arbors, hanging baskets, and pollinator-friendly garden borders.

The double pink flowers are ornamental and long-lasting, making this vine an excellent choice for covering fences, pergolas, and vertical garden structures. It thrives in full sun and warm conditions, twining readily with minimal support and blooming prolifically once established. Seeds may benefit from scarification and soaking before sowing to support even germination.
