Description
Crown vetch is an excellent perennial plant used for erosion control. An extremely fast and aggressive plant, Crown vetch produces a quick ground cover for erosion control with white to pink flowers. It grows in USDA Zones 4 - 10 in poor, rocky, soils. This legume should be planted for erosion control in certain hard-to-reach areas such as steep, dry, rocky slopes and low fertility soils It is best not to grow it in places where there are other plants established as it will crowd them out. It has moderate shade tolerance, but high drought tolerance. Crown vetch is one of the easiest, fastest, economical and beautiful ways to cover bare ground. You will often see it blooming along the side or center divider of highways, particularly on steep banks or slopes. Sowing Rate: 1 lb per 1,000 square feet. Dense flowers clustered atop the green foliage makes it an attractive display. Even though each bloom is only 1/2 inch wide, even a small planting creates nearly a solid carpet of pink all summer long! Crown vetch is fairly slow to germinate; therefore, if planting at the end of summer or early fall allow 10 weeks for establishment before first hard frost date.
