The deep, rich, royal blue flowers on this vine always draw attention in my garden - simply breathtaking!

Blooms from mid-summer to frost.
Butterfly pea flower tea is common in Thailand and Malaysia. Malays and Peranakan use the "bunga telang" (blue butterfly pea) as a natural blue dye for cakes, kuehs and dumplings.
Donâ€™t be surprised if the Long Tailed Skipper or Painted Lady butterfly show up because this plant is one of their larval (host) foods. This vine grows to about 15' and will be covered with blooms from mid-summer into fall. It readily self-seeds itself for even more plants in coming years.
