'''Everlasting pea''' (''Lathyrus latifolius'') is a flowering plant of the genus ''[[Lathyrus]]'' in the [[legume]] family [[Fabaceae]]. It is a [[perennial plant]] and so grows and bloom every year without new seeds being planted. It is less strongly scented than the related [[Annual plant|annual]] [[sweet pea]], ''Lathyrus odoratus''.

Everlasting peas are sometimes grown as a garden plant but are pervasive and may be difficult to remove. Because of this, this species is often considered to be a [[weed]] despite its attractive appearance.
