Lathyrus vernus, commonly known as spring vetchling or spring pea, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe. With its clusters of vibrant purple, pink, or white flowers and slender, climbing stems, it adds a burst of color and vertical interest to woodland edges, meadows, and garden borders. Spring vetchling blooms in early spring, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Admired for its ornamental value and ability to naturalize in various soil types, it is a cherished addition to early spring landscapes, heralding the arrival of the new season with its charming blooms.
