Clitoria ternatea is one of the most amazingly blue-colored flowers in the plant world. This small growing but vigorous annual or tender perennial vine produces loads of brilliant deep blue flowers with recurving and overlapping petals with a white to creamy yellow throat. It can be successfully overwintered but it’s easier just to save a few seeds to plant in spring. The young tender fruit is edible but is considered unpalatable by some.

Provide midday and or afternoon shade for the best foliage color. However, we have to keep in mind that too much shade may reduce flowering.
