Lathyrus Latifolia (Fabaceae)
Perennial sweet pea is originally from Europe where it has been grown as an ornamental since the 16th century. A vining plant that can grow up to 6 ft with pea-like flowers in shades of white and pink that have no scent unlike their annual cousins. Considered a weed in warmer climates, and it does drop seed around, but not so weedy in zone 4. Can make a nice Summer screen and cut flower, give it plenty of room and a strong trellis. One of the flowers grown by Jefferson in his famous gardens at Monticello.
AVAILABLE THIS YEAR
Sold in gallons - mixed colors, pink, red and white.
