Lathyrus nissolia 'Grass Vetchling'

[Ex. Cambridgeshire]

Fabaceae: an upright, hairless or slightly downy perennial to 90cm. easily overlooked when not in flower, in its favoured grassy habitat. The flowers are 18cm long, crimson, solitary or paired on long, slender stalks, blooming from May-July. The pods are narrow, the leaves are narrow, extremely grass-like leaflets. Locally common in South East England.

GROWING INFORMATION:

Pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in warm water and then sow in early spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Grass Vetchling is a native annual of open and often disturbed grasslands particularly chalk and chalky clay soils. Easy!
