The beautiful Butterfly Pea (also commonly known as Asian pigeonwings, bluebellvine, blue pea, cordofan pea and Darwin pea) is back by popular demand.

We have been growing this prolific climber for a few years.  Clitoria ternatea, a South Asian native whose curious bright blue flower is used to make Thai Herbal Blue Tea and natural food coloring.  Mixologists love using the brilliant natural tincture in beverages.

We will have the dried flower for purchase at our Herb Fair so you can try it at home.

​​​The heat and humidity are finally giving way to fall and November is the best time to plant an herb garden in Houston.  Imagine having fresh and nutritious parsley, rosemary, cilantro, pineapple sage and lemon verbena only steps away on you own balcony or in your back yard.
