Description
The Perennial Pea, also known as Lathyrus latifolius White Pearl or Chinese Pea is a vigorous and hardy climbing perennial plant, easy to cultivate, clinging to its support thanks to a few tendrils. Its papilionaceous flowers, quite large, are pure white in color. It displays its abundant flowering throughout the summer. It is a resistant plant that appreciates the sun, fertile and well-drained soil.
The perennial pea is a plant of the fabaceae family, native to Europe, originating from southern regions, where it grows in sunny fallow on rather calcareous soil. With rapid growth, the stems develop tendrils that attach themselves to the support you have provided during sowing. Developing from a large fleshy root, this plant easily reaches 2 m (6.6 ft) in a few months. Flowering takes place from July to September if it does not lack water. Its papilionaceous flowers, 2 to 3 cm (1.2 in) long, are grouped in axillary clusters of 10 to 15 flowers. It is an excellent cut flower. If it is happy, the perennial pea is so vigorous that it can become invasive by abundant self-seeding.
This charming plant has more than one asset: crisp bluish foliage, small clusters of tightly curled buds, and finally the purity of its white flowers. It thrives in warm and sunny places as well as well-drained or even rocky soils. It is a perfect plant to quickly dress up a brand new garden, a slightly wild area, the somewhat sad branches of conifers or deflowered spring-flowering shrubs. Easy to cultivate, the large seeds of Lathyrus latifolius are easy to handle and can be easily sown by children. This perennial pea is perfect for flowering a trellis, a fence, and even a pot on the terrace throughout the summer. This pea is an aerial vagabond with a formidable footing. If it settles in the garden, it multiplies and spreads at will, attacking other perennials without suffocating them under its light weight. In a bouquet, it remains beautiful for several days, the buds opening in white tinged with green, are very refined and go well with a few spikes of Buddleia that bring the missing fragrant touch.

Planting and care
Two options are available to you: sowing in September-October, or in spring, directly in place:
Sow perennial Peas directly in place at the base of a trellis in March-April or in September-October, in a small hole (group of 2 or 3 seeds) at a depth of 2.5 cm (0.8 in). Leave a minimum distance of 30 cm (11.8 in) between two holes. When the seedlings have reached the stage of the second pair of leaves, cut the tip of each stem to promote branching. Regular but not excessive watering will accelerate its growth. A sunny location and a supply of fertilizer for flowering plants, as well as the removal of faded flowers, will promote abundant flowering from June to August and limit seed formation. Beware of snails and slugs that love to devour young plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
