Lathyrus Tingitanus ( Algerian Pea )

Hi all,

Has anyone ever grown this Lathyrus species ? It's similar to Lathyrus Latifolius ( Everlasting Pea ) but the flowers are scented and the leaves are finer, more ferny.

What I'd like to know is do you pinch them out like a Sweet Pea or leave them to grow. They are growing at the rate of about an inch a day !

Thanks all

Anthony

 

I can't really help you with this one Anthony, but would suggest knowing how tall it grows that you pinch out as usual.

 

Hi Anthony, i am unsure what's best to do with them i just left mine last year to do as they pleased they looked lovely,

Some of them reached the top of the fence nearest in the picture that's 9ft.

 

Ive grown and also have some in pots of Lathyrus salivus azureus but it only gets to about 2ft,i think its a grass pea,ive never pinched them out so no idea if it would make a differance,your pea looks similar...
