Kidney vetch

The Kidney vetch has small clusters of pale yellow flowers. Sometimes the flowers may also be red or orange! It is a legume, so the flowers are pea-like and the plant forms low growing clumps. In the wild, the Kidney vetch can be found on roadsides, coastal areas and grassland. However in the garden, it is ideal in a bee and butterfly border or rockery preferring a light, well-drained soil.
