I read today that this vetch with beautiful flowers also has usefulness on the farm and for livestock. I will look for seeds at Adams-Briscoe Seed Company in part because I think it could do double-duty as a lovely ornamental! John

As lovely as the flowers are, and as good a "green manure" it can be, this legume can be very toxic to livestock and so I will not be buying the seeds.
