- Lynn W.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars6/8/26Blue Tea Butterfly Pea
100% germination via winter sowing. Plants are growing nicely. Will follow up once planted in their permanent spot.
BIBotanical Interests6/10/26Hey Lynn,
100% germination via winter sowing - that's absolutely fantastic! We love hearing about successful winter sowing adventures with our Blue Tea Butterfly Pea Seeds. It sounds like those plants are off to a great start and we'd love to hear how they do once they're settled in their permanent home. Thanks for sharing your Blue Tea success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
- 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

That's awesome - 100% germination with our Blue Tea Butterfly Pea Seeds! We love that you're growing them to make your own version of that Purple Haze drink for your wife. What a thoughtful and creative solution to not being able to find the powder locally! Your two happy little plants are going to produce some beautiful blue flowers that'll make amazing tea. We're excited to hear how they do once they're in the ground! Thanks for sharing your butterfly pea growing adventure with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
