The butterfly pea flower produces bright purple blooms that can add a pop of color to any garden, porch, or window. It's a particularly hardy plant and can adapt to most environments as long as the weather is warm enough. If you’d like to add this flower to your garden, grab your gardening gloves and a few seeds to get started! For best germination, nick the hard seed coat prior to planting. Direct seed outdoors in early spring. Plants will tolerate a light frost. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 65-80˚F. Sow 1" deep and 3" apart. Seeds will sprout in 10-21 days. Thin so mature plants are 6-12" apart. To reduce disease, avoid overhead watering and do not plant legumes in the same location year after year.
