If you want more control over the whole process, Butterfly Pea seeds are easy to germinate on a piece of moist paper. Place the paper in, for example, a food container with the lid slightly ajar – keep moist. Now you can easily see when each seed starts to sprout and gradually pick out seed by seed and sow in a small pot with soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongevity: Perennial \u003cbr\u003eLight: sun \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 150-300 cm \u003cbr\u003eGermination time: 10-20 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trädgårdsdags","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41970877038763,"sku":"FRÖ-HIM-10-45","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4683\/products\/croppedenhancedcolorenhancedIMG_9536_1.jpg?v=1658322614","url":"https:\/\/tradgardsdags.nu\/en-dk\/products\/bla-himmelsart-fylld-blomma-clitoria-ternatea","provider":"Trädgårdsdags","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
