Yellow vetchling
Lathyrus aphaca
Yellow vetchling is a slender, climbing annual or short-lived perennial that thrives in poor, well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade and minimal care. Its distinctive arrow-shaped stipules replace true leaves, giving it a unique appearance among wildflower meadow plants. It is best suited for naturalistic plantings, meadow gardens, or as a low-maintenance scrambler over fences and other plants.
