Double Blue Butterfly Pea.

Well, since nobody's posted any in a while, I will.

Some of my Clitoria ternatea var. flore plena (or something like that, lol.)

Love that ultramarine blue!

Mmmmmmmmm..............the color of the sky, just before darkness falls.

The same batch of seeds yielded this single blue vine.

They come in double white, too!

Lovely! We had such strange weather that all mine are stunted and have not even set buds yet. :~(
Glad you posted pics, I will enjoy yours since I can't enjoy mine! LOL

i have one to its growing all over the arbor but no flowers

Fancy.

beautiful!!!!

They do well down here too. Are yours in full sun?

Technically, not full sun. They are shaded for a good deal of the morning and then get sun for most of the day until late afternoon. I've had them in full sun (sun-up to sun-down) and they did alright as long as they didn't run dry. All-in-all, I'd say they need lots of direct sun to prosper, but appreciated being shaded some in the south. Good moisture retension is very important.

These pix are from July 24, and the vines are *much* bigger now, just lush! I'll get a coupla pix tomorrow.

I do know that they do better in a rich soil. I put some in pure sandy loam and they have just not done well at all--the soil just dries out too quickly. I have a couple other vines that only get part sun with the same soil but have the soil a bit shaded and they have done better there, but not as well as the ones in the well-amended soil or the ones I have potted in soiless mix.

Are they Related to Morning Glorys ?

No. They're in the bean family, Leguminosae and morning glories are Convolvulaceae.
