Pisum sativum subsp. elatius

February 26, 2022 By

Category: Rarium | Sub-Category: Pots/Garden (overwinter indoors)

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Pisum sativum subsp. elatius

Family: (Fabaceae)

(Annual vine to 6′).  Wild Pea.  Europe.  The Wild Pea is one of the oldest cultivated plants in Europe. A glabrous climber with angular or roundish hollow stems covered with a waxy bloom. Leaves consist of one or more pairs of opposite, slightly toothed, ovate leaflets with distinct ribs, and are borne on petioles together with several pairs of tendrils. The two large stipules at the base of the leaf are striking, ovate, much larger than the leaflets, and deeply toothed. The flowers are characteristically pea-shaped with a large bright pink upper petal (standard), two wing petals that are a dark maroon and two fused inner keel petals that are a paler pink.  We grew this in a pot last season…a lovely addition to the Garden Room.  Seed collected from the Jerusalem Botanical Garden, courtesy of Stephen Zelno.  Sun.  2A & 3 then T2
