Pink Everlasting Sweet Pea

Description

Known as perennial peavine, perennial pea, broad-leaved everlasting-pea, or just everlasting pea. Bumblebees pollinate the flowers. Butterflies visit the flowers for their nectar. With tall flowering stems, lathyrus latifolius is a climbing herbaceous plant that can quickly grow from ground level to reach heights of up to 2m. Winged stems give a beautiful flower display and would do great against a sunny wall or at the back of a border. Blooms in mid to late summer. Grows well in most well-drained soil types with hairless stems producing pink flowers in summer.

Available as packets of seeds or in potted plant sizes.

Lathyrus latifolius is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add vertical interest and vibrant colour to their landscapes. This vigorous climbing plant is particularly valued for its versatility and hardiness, thriving in a range of well-drained soil types and sunny locations. Its ability to attract pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies not only enhances the beauty of the garden but also supports local biodiversity. The plant’s lush, winged stems and abundant pink pea-like flowers create a striking visual impact, especially when allowed to trail over trellises, arbors, or garden walls. Whether grown from seeds or established plants, Perennial Pea offers a long-lasting and low-maintenance option for enhancing garden borders, providing a continuous display of colour and natural beauty throughout the summer months.
