Butterfly Pea Flower

Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a striking, deep-blue blossom that thrives in tropical and subtropical regions. Native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Malaysia, it has spread to India, Africa, Central America, and other warm climates around the world.

This resilient flowering vine prefers full sun and well-drained soil, often flourishing along fences, trellises, and in open fields. It grows easily in humid, warm environments and is commonly found in home gardens, farms, and wild landscapes across the tropics.

In its native regions, butterfly pea flower is cherished not only for its beauty but also for its culinary, medicinal, and spiritual uses. Today, it continues to thrive wherever warmth, sunlight, and fertile soil allow, symbolizing resilience and the vibrancy of tropical life.
