Watch my YouTube video on how to grow Thai Double Blue Butterfly Pea from seed to harvest: https://youtu.be/R1AeFCcNkfw

Gorgeous bright blue flowers that are commonly used to make an very high antioxidant rich tea. This is a very easy to grow vining plant that once established produces tons of flowers during the warmest times of the year. The more often you harvest the flowers, the more it will bloom. Simply dry the flowers on a paper towel for about 2 weeks and store away. Commonly used to make a soothing calming tea or can be powdered up and used as a natural food dye. The tea goes great with other flavors such as lemon grass. This is also used as a fun experiment as the blue tea will turn pink when you add a few drops of something acidic (such as lemon juice). This is a tropical plant from Southeast Asia and will require protection in temperatures get too low.

PLANTING & GROWING

Germination: 7-10 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep

Sowing: Can direct sow or start in pots after the last frost. If you live in colder climates, grow in a pot with a small trellis and bring the plan in doors during the winter.

Sun: This plant grows best in full sun but can also handle partial shade

Soil: This plant is not picky when it comes to soil. It can grow in poor soils given some fertilizer every now and then. I like to use an organic all purpose granular fertilizer. 

Cold Hardiness: This is a perennial plant in sub tropical and tropical climates. It can survive in USDA garden zones 9 and up. 

Plant Growth: This is a vining plant and grows best on a trellis or some sort of vertical support. Vines get very long, often reaching over 15FT.

Flowers: Plants typically start to bloom about 6 months after being started from seed. The vines produce the most flowers continuously during the warmer months. During the colder parts of the year, such as fall and winter, the plant slows its growth and stops flowering. It can even drop leaves and go into a kind of winter dormancy.

Harvesting the flowers: Flowers bloom for 1 or 2 days. Harvest in the morning once the dew has dried, when the flower is fully open. Gently rinse with cold water before using. Can use flowers fresh to brew teas etc... but the dried flowers release more blue color which means you end up using less of them. To dry the flowers - set in a single layer to air dry.

Shipping Information

SEEDS

  • Seeds can be shipped to states within the USA. No shipping to outside of the USA is available.
  • Orders ship within 1-3 business days, not including weekends, holidays, or delays caused by natural disasters.
  • If my local USPS/UPS office is closed, for example due to inclement weather like a hurricane or snow storm, then I resume shipping the very first day they re-open.
  • I am not open to the public so shipping is the only option.
  • Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers to ensure that they are not pushed through roller machines which can crush the seeds. For this reason, I do not ship in a plain envelope.
  • Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.

PLANTS & RHIZOMES

  • I can only ship live plant products within the USA.
  • I only use USPS Priority or UPS shipping if an order contains live plant products. This is to ensure they are not in transit for a long period of time.
  • Orders with plants will ship the following Monday after the order was placed.  This is to ensure live plant products have the longest stretch of week days while in transit, and don't get stuck in the post office over a weekend or holiday. If Monday is a holiday, then we cannot ship, and orders are held to ship the next Monday.
  • If there is inclement weather, such as snow storms or hurricanes impacting shipping routes, I will hold from shipping orders until routes have cleared. I am located in Florida and frequently get impacted by hurricanes during hurricane season. I resume shipping as soon as my local post office opens back up or the inclement weather has passed. 

DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND

  • If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
  • If it has been a full 7 days after tracking says delivered, and the pakage still has not shown up or arrived, please email me at info@jerrasgarden.com so I can engage the help of USPS/UPS with locating the package. Do not wait more than 14 days after delivery to let me know because then USPS/UPS cannot really help. If the lost package is reported to me beyond 14 days after delivery - I cannot help and I will not ship a replacement. 

Refunds & Exchanges

Refund & Return Policy
All sales are final once an order has shipped. Due to the nature of live plants and seeds, we do not accept returns or offer refunds once items have shipped, except in the limited circumstances outlined below.
Seeds: Since there are many factors beyond our control that affect germination and growing success—including climate, soil conditions, watering, and care—no refunds or exchanges are offered on seeds once they have shipped. All seeds sold are fresh, viable, and the same seeds we use in our own personal garden.
Live Plants: Live plants are non-refundable and non-replaceable. Orders containing live plants are typically shipped the following Monday or Tuesday after the order is placed, and we are unable to hold plant orders for shipment at a later date.
Cold Temperatures: If you are located in a cold climate, please be aware that during the winter months we are not responsible for cold damage during transit or delays caused by winter storms or severe weather. To help reduce the risk of cold damage, we recommend placing plant orders during times of the year when temperatures in your area are warm enough for safe shipping.
Many of our customers are located in warm or tropical climates, where we are able to ship plants year-round. Because we ship a high volume of orders, we do not have the ability to filter or hold orders based on the destination’s weather conditions or climate. For this reason, it is the customer’s responsibility to consider their local weather and growing conditions before placing an order for live plants.
USDA Garden Zones: Customers are responsible for selecting plants that are suitable for their growing conditions. Each plant listing includes information about the recommended growing conditions and USDA garden zones, and we cannot guarantee success if plants are purchased for areas outside of their recommended zones.
We gladly offer a replacement if a plant arrives dead upon delivery.

To be eligible for a replacement:

  • You must contact us within 24 hours of delivery
  • Email info@jerrasgarden.com
  • Include clear photos of all plants in the order, including packaging if possible

Reports made after 24 hours of delivery will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We are unable to replace or refund plants reported outside of this timeframe, as plant health after delivery is influenced by factors out of our control such as handling, environmental conditions, and care once received.

Shipping Issues

We are not responsible for lost, delayed, or damaged packages caused by USPS or UPS once the package is in the carrier’s possession. Shipping carriers are responsible for transit-related issues.

Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
