Common vetch is recognised by its delicate, pea-like purple flowers and trailing, tendril-bearing stems that weave naturally through surrounding plants. As a member of the legume family, it also enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen, supporting healthier growth in mixed plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"830\" data-start=\"492\"\u003eHighly attractive to bees and other pollinators, common vetch is a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly schemes. It is well suited to meadow planting, green manure use, or informal cottage-style gardens, thriving in most well-drained soils in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Once established, it may self-seed and gently naturalise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur strong, healthy plants are grown in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40cc cell trays\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and are ready to be planted in their final position.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meadow Mania UK","offers":[{"title":"10 Plugs","offer_id":55534179320184,"sku":"MAS-PP130-10-plugs","price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 Plugs","offer_id":55534179352952,"sku":"MAS-PP130-20-plugs","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Plugs","offer_id":55534179385720,"sku":"MAS-PP130-50-plugs","price":74.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150 Plugs","offer_id":55534179418488,"sku":"MAS-PP130-150-plugs","price":156.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3835\/8834\/files\/shadygrassseed_1.jpg?v=1777368574","url":"https:\/\/meadowmania.co.uk\/products\/heartsease-plug-plants-viola-tricolor-copy","provider":"Meadowmania UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
