Perennial sweet pea (Lathyrus latifolius) is an herbaceous climbing vine that has been widely cultivated in North America since the early 1700’s. Over time it has become naturalized through most of the United States and Canada and can be found along roads, railroads, fields, fences, and other disturbed areas. It is deer resistant.
The plant has paired leaflets along a vine that either climbs support structures or rambles along the ground. The showy blossoms bloom in the early summer to fall (June through late September) in hues of rose, pinkish-purple or white.
