| A profusion of delicately hued flowers and the alacrity with which the veining stems form a screen on fences or other structures make these ornamental peas outstanding additions to the garden. Given slight support, the vines climb by means of branched tendrils; left unsupported, the beach and perennial peas may be used as ground covers. | ||
