'''''Lathyrus latifolius''''', the '''perennial peavine''' or '''perennial pea''', is a flowering plant of the genus ''[[Lathyrus]]'' in the [[legume]] family [[Fabaceae]]. It is native to Europe but is present on other continents, such as North America, where it is an [[introduced species]]. 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]] [[sweet pea]], ''Lathyrus odoratus''.
Peavines 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.

Lathyrus latifolius, Linn. Everlasting Pea. Perennial Pea. St. winged, 4-8 ft.: lfts. ovate-elliptic or ovate-lanceolate, somewhat glaucous, mucronate, 2-3 in. long; tendril branching: peduncle many-fld., longer than the leaves; flowers rose, large: pod flat, 4-5 in. long. Aug. Woods of Eu.—This is the common perennial pea, and one of the hardiest and most easily cultured species, thriving almost anywhere, even among flags and boulders. A rampant grower, it is a good trellis plant, and is adapted as a cover to wild, rough places, as a rock-garden, where it scrambles over bushes and stones. It succeeds in shade and grows rapidly, but, like all species of Lathyrus, it is impatient of removal, owing to the size and length of its roots. It is not fragrant. Its varieties are not clearly defined. Lathyrus Var. albus, Hort., the white form, is adapted to the same uses as the type, and is, besides, valuable to florists who want white flowers in midsummer. Lathyrus Var. splendens, Hort., dark purple and red, is said to be the best form of the type, but does not come true from seed. There is a striped form,also. Other trade names are Lathyraus Vars. albiflorus, grandiflorus, grandiflorus albus and magnificus with large richly colored flowers
