Lathyrus latifolius 'Red Pearl'
(Everlasting Pea)
25 seeds $3.75
Lathyrus latifolius 'Red Pearl' is a fast-growing, perennial vine with fuschia-pink flowers throughout the summer.
Lathyrus latifolius makes a good groundcover for a large space. It can be used to cover posts, trellises, and chain-link fences. It is a vigorous self-sower, which can be a problem for small gardens unless you keep it deadheaded.
I grow Red Pearl in a container next to a post by my porch. It looks amazing with Delphinium 'Blue Butterfly', Rudbeckia hirta and Lilium regale.
Also known as Perennial Sweet Pea. Hardy in zones 5-9.
height 5-6' spacing 6"
