Beach Pea Seed Packet

Lathyrus japonicus

 

Beach Pea is a resilient coastal native found along the beaches and dunes of Atlantic Canada. With soft blue-green foliage and vibrant pink-purple flowers, this hardy perennial thrives in sandy, windy environments where many plants cannot.

 

Blooming through early to mid-summer, Beach Pea provides valuable nectar for bees and other pollinators while helping stabilize sandy soils. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, it also improves soil health by naturally enriching the surrounding ground.

 

Highly tolerant of salt spray, drought, and poor soils, Beach Pea is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, dune plantings, and sunny landscapes with well-drained soil. Its trailing growth habit allows it to gently spread and form low, lush patches across the sand.

 

Beach Pea Fact: Like many legumes, Beach Pea partners with beneficial soil bacteria to fix nitrogen, helping naturally enrich nutrient-poor coastal soils.

    Our native seeds are locally foraged, gathered thoughtfully and in small quantities. We follow responsible seed-collection practices used in restoration and conservation work—collecting only from healthy, abundant populations, taking only a small portion of available seed, and leaving plenty behind for wildlife and natural regeneration.
