Aparajita/ Butterfly Pea Plant (Hybrid, Pack Of 1)

The Aparajita, also known as Shankupushpam or Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea), is a cherished perennial climbing vine, highly valued for its striking flowers and lush, fast-growing foliage. This hybrid variety offers the classic beauty and versatility of the Aparajita plant, making it an excellent addition to your garden, balcony, or trellis for a vibrant display.

• Flower Blooms: Produces beautiful, often vibrant blue, butterfly-shaped flowers with a yellow or white center. Hybrid varieties may also feature purple or white blooms. Flowers grow singly or in pairs and can bloom throughout the year in warm climates.
• Climbing Habit: As a twining vine, it grows to a moderate height and requires support from a trellis, fence, or arbor, creating a lovely vertical garden element.
• Culinary Use: The flowers are edible and widely used to make the popular blue Butterfly Pea Flower tea. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the tea causes a fascinating color change from blue to a beautiful violet hue. The flowers are also used as a natural blue food coloring agent.
• Seed Pods: The plant produces flattened pods which contain the seeds. The young, tender pods are edible.
• Cultural Significance: Known in Indian culture by names like Aparajita and Shankupushpam, the plant is revered for its traditional and spiritual significance.

• Sunlight: Prefers a bright, sunny spot, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for abundant flowering. It can tolerate partial shade, but blooming may be reduced.
• Soil: Thrives best in well-draining, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water the plant regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during the growing season. Once established, it shows good tolerance to dry spells.
• Support: Provide a trellis, stake, or other climbing structure for the vine to wrap its twining stems around.
• Pruning: Prune periodically to remove dead or overgrown stems and pinch back spent flowers (deadheading) to encourage the growth of new blooms.
