Notes
'PLS' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'PLS') is an annual for container growing. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It matures in 64 days. Plants grow 12 to 71 inches tall, so give the taller vines a support to climb.
Pairs well with German Red garlic, Painted daisy, and Red fescue.
