  1. crown vetch

    Securigera varia (synonym Coronilla varia), commonly known as crownvetch or purple crown vetch, is a low-growing legume vine. It is native to Africa, Asia and Europe and is commonly used throughout the United States and Canada for erosion control, roadside planting and soil rehabilitation. It has become an invasive species in many states of the US. Crownvetch grows 1 to 2 feet tall and bears small clusters of 1/2-inch pink and white flowers from early summer to late fall. The variety Penngift produces mounds of pink flowers. Crownvetch is a tough, aggressive spreading plant that will crowd out its neighbors in a show garden but is well suited to a sunny bank, where it will grow for decades with little to no fertilizing, mowing, or weeding since the thick foliage prevents weeds from growing amid it. Its deep, tenacious, complex root system and thick, fern-like leaves provide excellent erosion control where it is used as a ground cover. However, this legume has a very long germination period of about 6 months and does not create full coverage until two or three years later.

  1. crown vetch

    Crown vetch, scientifically known as Coronilla varia, is a perennial plant species native to Africa, Asia and Europe. It is known for its ability to grow in poor soils, control erosion, and enrich soil due to its nitrogen-fixing properties. The plant features small pea-like flowers that bloom from June to September, usually in shades of pink and white. Often used to stabilize roadsides, it is sometimes criticized for its invasive nature as it can crowd out native plants.
