Meadow Vetchling Plug Plants Lathyrus pratensis

Common names include meadow pea and fingers-and-thumbs.

Meadow vetchling's yellow flowers are a common sight in hedgerows, roadsides and grass verges.  This native perennial wildflower grows to a height of 1 metre and favours well-drained soil in a sunny position.  

It is an excellent nectar source for bees and other pollinating insects and is one of the RHS Plants for Pollinators.

Sourced from native seed and grown 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.

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
