Blue Tea – Clitoria ternatea
Clitoria ternatea is a perennial climbing or trailing plant in Fabaceae, commonly treated as an annual in temperate climates. Pea-like flowers arise above the foliage; horticultural forms include blue and white flowers. Its weak climbing stems benefit from support when an upright display is intended. The plant is distinct from true sweet peas, Lathyrus.
