Description
Deep Red flowering vetch.
This is a great red flowering variety for Spring to summer in the border. We recommend borders as this is quite a large plant in maturity but will add great foliage and colour to even the poorest of soil types. Place in a sunny position for best results. A perfect plant for bees, hoverflies and other insects.

I have bought Alpines from D’arcy & Everest usually at various shows, recently i have put a number of orders in via their on-line shop. I have been very pleased with the plants picked for me. I have & will be using their on-line shop again. Cheers Steve Sinnott.

I tell everyone (even fellow visitors to garden centres) D’arcy and Everest are the best. I have given 4 stars as I cannot yet plant many of the little plants I have bought. But those from previous years are generally progressing well
