Notes
'Blue Queen Butterfly Pea' butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea 'Blue Queen Butterfly Pea') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance spots. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer. The flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Mandevilla, Blue daisy, Celosia, and Black Star gladiolus.
