Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
Dark green pinnate foliage and charming purple pea-like flowers in spring make Lathyrus vernus a quietly distinctive early-season perennial. Commonly known as Spring Vetchling, it shares the same delicate flowers as its climbing cousins but reaches just 30cm.
Use it to underplant shrubs or bring early colour to the front of borders and beds. It thrives in sun or partial shade in a humus-rich, fertile soil, and is equally at home in containers.
Please note: all parts of this plant are toxic.
