Re: Propagation of vetch

Crown Vetch is a rapid ground cover, it throws seeds all over the place. They
are just forming here in SE PA.  This legume does not transplant well, as it
has long roots.
Please consider that this invasive plant is now taking over some natural
areas, and smothering out native species.
I wouldn't use it.
