A striking treasure of tropical Asia, the Blue Butterfly Pea is a sacred and medicinal flower native to India and Southeast Asia. The double-petal variety is especially admired for its fuller, layered blooms in a rich indigo-blue shade that stand out beautifully in home gardens.

Beyond its ornamental beauty, this flower is valued in Ayurveda and traditional medicine for its calming and memory-enhancing properties. The petals are commonly brewed into a vibrant blue herbal tea, which changes to purple when a few drops of lemon are added. In Indian homes, it is also used in festive decorations, temple offerings, and as a natural food color in rice, desserts, and drinks.
