Lathyrus vernus aka Spring Vetch

Lathyrus vernus, commonly known as the spring vetchling, spring pea, or spring vetch, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant native to forests of Europe and Siberia. This small, clump-forming perennial forms a dense cluster of pointed leaves and produces purple flowers in spring, which gradually fade to a greenish-blue hue. It is a rare houseplant that thrives with regular watering and prefers long-lasting, direct light, ideally positioned within one foot of a window. Spring Pea, belonging to the Lathyrus genus, is also known for its ability to grow well in well-draining soil and benefits from gentle, organic fertilizer during the peak growing season. Notably, both Lathyrus vernus and its cultivar 'Alboroseus' have been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Native to Northern Asia and Europe, Spring Pea adds a touch of elegance to any garden or indoor space.
