Wow. The stunning and rare blue climbing nasturtium has thin twining stems
which produce many dazzling cobalt blue flowers from the leaf axils of
delicate, attractively-lobed leaves.
One of the fabulous perennial plants of dry places in Chile, it dies
down to deep resting tubers in winter when it must be kept as dry and
protected as possible. Quickly develops a taproot/tuber.
Perennial, USDA zone 9-11. The plant does not
tolerate snow, but can tolerate occasional freezing spells. Requires
well-drained slightly humid soil, neutral pH, high luminosity and full
sun.
Other Names: Soldadillo azul, Pajarito azul

Nice! Blue Butterfly Vine
I have a new fascination with Vines patriculary red, black and blues.
Technically a tropical plant, the Blue Butterfly vine also easily grown annuals in more northern areas and will quickly bloom from seed in about 6-8 weeks
Produces a wonderful display of 2 inch vivid blue flowers from mid to late summer. Prefers full sun to light shade, are very drought tolerant and are well-adapted to a variety of soil types.
These will bloom all year long in frost free zones or inside as an exotic vining houseplant.
Ideal for covering trellis in a sheltered part of the garden, as a perennial in a conservatory or as a hanging plant, attracting many bees and butterflies.
Climber to 6-8ft. Zone 8+
