Growth Journey - Day 19 - Spurred Butterfly Pea
Thinking of what to plant in June? Come with me on this plant growth journey! Learn how how to plant Spurred Butterfly Pea seeds!
Spurred Butterfly Pea (Centrosema virginianum) is a charming perennial vine known for its vibrant blue, violet, or purple butterfly-shaped flowers with white or yellow centers. Native to the southeastern United States, this hardy plant thrives in diverse habitats, from woodlands to prairies, and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. Its compound leaves consist of three oval to lance-shaped leaflets, and as a legume, it enriches the soil through nitrogen fixation. Perfect for gardeners and nature enthusiasts, the Spurred Butterfly Pea attracts pollinators and adds a splash of color to any landscape with minimal maintenance.
It is a larval host plant for the Long-Tailed Skipper Butterfly (Urbanus proteus) and the Northern Cloudywing Butterfly (Thorybes pylades).
These seeds were planted on June 16th, 2024.
