Common Vetch (Vicia sativa) is a fast-growing annual with a sprawling, climbing habit that resembles a low-growing sweet pea. Its slender stems bear pairs of leaflets, usually numbering between three and eight, and clusters of purple and white flowers. The plant thrives in grassy banks, sand dunes, meadows, and roadside verges, where it enriches the soil through nitrogen fixation. It is an excellent source of nectar and pollen, making it highly valuable for bees and other insects.
Our Common Vetch plug plants for sale are priced per plant. This product has a minimum quantity of 10 plug plants. For orders over 500 plug plants please contact us.
All our plants are native British wildflowers grown in Peat-free compost in our sustainable nursery.
