Beach Pea

Coastal plants with light to dark pink flowers and large, oval shaped leaves, growing in branches that tend to trail out. Flowers resemble typical peas' flowers!

Plants perform best in coastal environments in fertile sandy soils, and welcome pollinators to the area. Plants bloom in July onwards, and will produce seed pods that split open in late fall.

Beach peas are related to the common garden Sweet pea.
These seeds are not edible.

Instructions

Note: germination is sporadic, and several seeds should be sown.

In spring, soak seeds in moist paper towels until they sprout, which can take up to a month.

After they have sprouted, transplant them to small pots of soil to then transplant outside after the last risk of frost has passed. If the risk of frost has already passed, sprouted seeds can be transplanted directly into the garden.

Plants are perennial and don’t need to be let to self-seed. Developing pods may be trimmed off, or let to mature and then self-seed.
