Description
Crown vetch is an herbaceous vine that usually forms sprawling mats or thickets up to three feet tall. The pea-like flowers range in color from white to pink or purple, and bloom during the summer. Crown vetch was introduced throughout North America in the 1950s for erosion control, particularly along roadways. Crown vetch is native to Europe, Asia and Africa. Since its introduction to the U.S., it has spread throughout the country and is currently reported as invasive in many states, especially through the center of the country and along the eastern seaboard. It was frequently used in Pennsylvania for erosion control and bank stablization although it is now considered an invasive plant. This was spied along a roadway close to my home.
