Product Description

From Onalee's Seeds, a family-owned company, each pack contains 20 seeds with detailed growing instructions. Grown in the United States and shipped from there.
In zones 9b and warmer, this fast-growing vine can be grown as an annual or as a tender/tropical perennial. This plant can be found in all climate zones. Sun exposure ranges from partial to full. Soil is average and sandy. To grow, it requires a trellis or a fence.
This vine's deep, rich, royal blue flowers are always a focal point in my garden - simply stunning! Plant near a walkway, a garden bench, or an entranceway to get the most out of the deep blue blooms. The blooms are absolutely stunning, and one of my favorites! From mid-summer to frost, this flowering plant blooms.
Tea made from butterfly pea flowers is popular in Thailand and Malaysia. For cakes, kuehs, and dumplings, Malays and Peranakan use "bunga telang" (blue butterfly pea) as a natural blue dye.
Because this plant is a larval (host) food for the Long Tailed Skipper and Painted Lady butterflies, don't be surprised if they show up. This vine reaches a height of about 15 feet and blooms from mid-summer to the end of the season. In the coming years, it will easily self-seed for more plants.

Questions & Answers

What is the origin of these shipments?

Florida is in the United States of America. The grower in Florida is responsible for growing, harvesting, packing, and shipping.

Why do some customers report excellent germination while others claim the seeds are a waste of money?

I'm guessing the 'duds' weren't kept warm enough or were overwatered in some other way. They do require a warm environment, as stated on the packs. This implies that it is available 24 hours a day, not just during peak hours. I encourage anyone who is having problems with my seeds to contact me and tell me how they were planted, what temperatures they were in, and other details so that I can help them improve their results, but none of the people who complained about poor results did so. They're all the same seeds, and they're all brand new, and I always germination test all of my seeds to ensure their viability.

Is it permissible for me to pick vine tips and cook them for consumption?

The flowers, as far as I'm aware, are edible. not the vine in and of itself

In Sacramento, California, when is the best time to plant a garden?

I'd begin them in either the spring or summer. They'll keep growing until the first frost, which is usually late in the winter.

Seeds of high quality! Make certain you adhere to the guidelines! It's possible that this review will be lengthy
5/5

But do your best to stay with me. br>br>For the past ten years, I've been gardening. Baker Creek (rareseeds. com) was where I got my Butterfly Pea seeds first. com). They provide us with the majority of our seeds, and I've always had good luck with them. This year, however, these seeds were a first. My husband planted them while I was sick, but only three of the two bags of seeds germinated. Despite the fact that they were planted in a greenhouse, we experienced a significant drop in temperatures, which I believe is why we had germination issues. In addition, I believe my husband failed to adequately water them. Basically, I didn't have much of a hand in planting them, and I believe that if I had done it myself, I would have gotten much better germination. When I returned to get more, the store was completely sold out. br>br>Now for the actual review of this company's seeds. 1. br>br> I adore how detailed the instructions are! It's especially useful for a new plant you've never tried before. Especially since, when you google something, you frequently get a slew of different answers on how to do it, along with a slew of irrelevant information. So, kudos to this business for going above and beyond for their customers in order to ensure their success! 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br I struck the seeds with a mallet and soaked them in water overnight. Wrapped in a damp towel, I placed it above the refrigerator for another 24 hours. Then I planted the seeds in pots made of mulchy soil, pitting soil, and sand. (I know I didn’t 100% follow the instructions. However, I found it to be effective. 3. )br>br>4. )br>br>5. )br>br>6. In my window, I have ten happy little sprouts growing! When there is full sun and hot/humid temperatures in the morning, I open the windows for a few hours; when the house becomes too hot, I close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. Despite the temperature fluctuations, they are thriving. (I should mention that for the first two days of sprouting, I left them hot for the majority of the day because they require a fair amount of warmth to sprout. ) 4. br>br> Someone (wild bunny or squirrel) ate the three small plants that sprouted from the other seeds, so I'm growing them indoors and in containers. I'm really excited to see these grow and use the flowers for tea, so I'm not going to share them with the wild animals this time!br>br>Finally, some thoughts. br>br>This company is experienced; trust and follow the instructions, and keep the seeds warm. I'm still waiting for more sprouts, but I'm confident they're on their way. This company, as well as the seeds, receives my highest recommendation!.

I started germination of seeds and after four days, I had taproots! I scored them before soaking them overnight, then wrapped them in a damp towel and placed them in a sealed container over the stove.

The best seed investment I've ever made! My seeds were delivered promptly and in good condition
5/5

packaged in a cute little envelope with the seeds' names and some useful information inside. It took me a long time to get around to planting them, but I finally did it! I know it's pretty simple to grow once it's sprouted, but this is the first time I've tried growing it from seed. Soaking them prior to planting is said to be the best method. I usually soak my seeds in a 10 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide and 90% spring water (the peroxide helps prevent mold%). I let them soak for 24 hours on my patio (it was around 86°F outside for the majority of the day due to the Florida weather in the spring). After soaking, the majority of them already had a tiny sprout! Then I used a combination of dirt from my backyard (sandy soil), cow manure/compost (purchased at Home Depot), and a small amount of generalized fertilizer (6-0-0). 6) Plant the seeds in their containers. Within three days of potting, all but one of the seeds had sprouted! This purchase has made me ecstatic, for lack of a better word! That is the greatest sprout ratio ever recorded!.

It's super simple! They were truly incredible! I grew mine in a makeshift greenhouse made from a croissant box, and they thrived! Simply place them in a bright window, barely below the soil

Tea with a lovely blue color
5/5

First and foremost, I was enamored with the tea color blue. We made an iced tea with agave syrup for sweetness. It has a delicious and refreshing flavor. The iced tea was then tinted purple with the addition of lemon. It was fascinating to watch the color shift.
