Grass Vetchling -lathyrus nissolia– grows best in dry grassy places such as roadsides, grassy banks, and open areas within woods. It also appears in old hay meadows on clay or chalky soils. Grass Vetchling is a low growing species with a soft pink flower that appears from May to July. When not in flower, its leaves are barely distinguishable from the surrounding grasses in which it usually grows. Grass Vetchling looks best growing with other meadow plants that flower in early to mid summer such as Oxeye daisies, Red Clover, and Tufted vetch.

How to grow Grass Vetchling Seeds
Grass Vetchling seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered lightly with compost. Germination can be improved by lightly rubbing the seeds between 2 sheets of sandpaper. This is known as scarification and helps break down the seed’s tough outer shell. Grass Vetchling seeds can take some time to germinate. The seedlings can be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.
