Started inside and transplanted to outside in Texas. Definitely need a target trellis. Beautiful vibrant blooms.

- LeRoy W.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars10/11/26Beautiful climber & heat tolerant
Grabbed these in the spring for some summer color around the windows. Steady grower, will need to be more thoughtful about trellising next time.

I have always wanted to grow blue tea butterfly pea!! Because I’m in a weird area, I mathed it out and put a post it on the packet and an alarm on my phone to remind me to plant these seeds! Truly can’t wait! Arrived perfectly and the information inside the packet are soooooo useful! (Don’t cut the packet! Just peel back the tabs).
- Christina W.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars10/10/26Limited viable seeds
This is the second time I’ve purchased and planted these seeds. Very few of the seeds sprouted on the second try. None sprouted on the first. We will see if the plants actually grow and produce flowers.

First season growing, absolutely love the benefits! For hot, humid climates it’s fabulous for shade for my peppers. Pretty and cute, I’ve been dehydrating the flowers! :-)
