- Jennifer P.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars5/19/26Blue tea
I ordered these seeds and my original pkg only had a few seeds so this amazing company sent me another packet!
But I’ve only had 4 seeds out of all of them that have come up… was therefore disappointed with the seeds themselves

- Sue G.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars5/16/26Poor germination
Only 4 seeds germinated when I started them inside under plant lights. I was looking forward to sharing these with my granddaughter who together we are making a tea garden. The starts are spindly. I’ve put them outside and hope

- Zachary A.KY, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/15/26Planted 2, germinated 2
I don’t have a whole lot of space for my garden however, my wife loves a drink from First Watch called a purple haze it has blue tea butterfly pee powder in it. I can’t find the powder anywhere locally so I figured I’ll just make it! Bought the seeds planted them and I now have two happy little plants! I will update later how they do once they’re in the ground

- Kiara B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/8/26Fast growing but Delicate
I’ve never had so much success growing flowers indoors, and once they were transplanted they took OFF. Be sure to put it in a trellis immediately, so the plant will continue to grow instead of searching for support!
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests5/8/26Hey Kiara,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Blue Tea Butterfly Pea Seeds! It's fantastic to hear about your indoor growing success.
Your tip about adding a trellis immediately after transplanting is so helpful for other gardeners! Giving them that support right away keeps them focused on growing upward instead of spending energy searching for something to climb. That's exactly the kind of practical advice that makes all the difference.
Thanks for sharing your successful growing method and for that awesome 5-star rating! Keep on growing 🌻️
