Notes
'Albus' broad-leaved everlasting pea (Lathyrus latifolius 'Albus') is a vine for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows fast and climbs, so give it room to spread. It blooms from early to late summer and again in autumn. Butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Dropmore Scarlet honeysuckle, Honey Gold peony, and Foxtail barley.
