    Hi,

    does anyone know where I can get some crown vetch? I would prefer seed but plants are fine.

    thanks,

    Robert

    Me neither, but heed the warning from Ziggy's link:
    "It spreads rapidly through seed and by underground stems, invading many of our open natural areas like prairies and savannas. Note – do not buy, sell, or plant crown vetch."
