Crown Vetch
Reviewed By: Sandy J (Washburn, Missouri)
I love these plants. Mine started blooming before fall got here last year. They survived our crazy winter here & they are doing great so far this year. I have a bunch of new babies so I am having to be careful with my weedeater. I can not wait till they bloom this year. This is a good investment & they are covering my embankment quite well & I am sure by the time summer is over with my whole embankment will be full of this Crown Vetch & be really beautiful next year & from here out. My neighbours is doing really well this year as well.

Easy from seed

I was able to easily cover a rough slope with clover-like flowers in one season by top dressing the soil then broadcast seeding. Follow the care instruction on the website and enjoy the results! Prolific and long bloom period.

I have a embankment in my yard that I can not mow all of it. I am thinking in the future & I know it will get to a point I will not be able to mow it at all & then I will have the city on my butt. So while I am young I bought 20 of these plants & put them in this Spring 2008. They were slow at first but now they are going because of all the rain we are getting this year. I keep the weeds away from them for now so they can grow good. I can not wait till they take over the embankment. I ordered 10 more of these & just planted them 2-3 weeks ago to finish across my embankment & I can't wait for them to take off. My embankment is even shaded by trees & some of my plants are growing under tree limbs right now for which I will cut off when fall comes so they can grown even better. I can not wait for them to bloom. My neighbor ordered 70 of these just before I did but we got them in about the same time & they are doing well & are blooming & looking pretty. We both can not wait till it takes over our embankments & pretty the neighbor hood & we no longer have to try to mow our embankments any more. Who ever gets my place when I am gone will appreciate this & be glad that I did this. It will make there life easier. I wish I would of done this 5 years ago.
