- Heather A.MI, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/10/26Great for tea
This plant is great for making tea. Grows great on a trellis. Plants really don’t take off until it gets hot outside. So be patient.

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).
