It is called butterfly pea because it is a plant in the pea family, but surprisingly, it is not frequented by butterflies. Rather, the expanded banner looks like a butterfly. This is a large wildflower with one to three showy purple flowers that are up to two inches long.

Hibiscus leaves are ovate, simple and 8 to 10.5 cm long. They are spirally arranged around a long stalk. The flowers are bisexual, large and showy, grow up to 25 cm wide, stalked and arising singly from the upper leaf axils. The five free petals joined at the base may be white, yellow or red colour.

The plant produces white to very pale pink flowers with five petals, known for their strong fragrance. Its fruits are small, black berries, adding both ornamental appeal and ecological value by attracting wildlife.

The flower heads are placed separately, they have a diameter of 10–30 mm, and they are pedunculate and heterogamous. The golden yellow tubular florets with 5 teeth are 1.5–2.5 mm long, ending always in a glandulous tube. The 11–27 white plant flowers are 6–11 mm long, 3.5 mm wide, and arranged concentrically.

This tea is known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps with digestion, fights allergies, and improves lung health.

Showy, daisy-like purple coneflowers bloom vibrantly through summer, perched atop sturdy, upright stems. Their coarse, ovate to broad-lanceolate dark green leaves provide a striking contrast to the blossoms. Valued in gardens for their beauty and resilience, these coneflowers attract pollinators and add lasting color and charm to landscapes.
