Vicia Sinogigantea

Chinese giant vetch, scientifically known as Vicia sinogigantea, is a striking leguminous plant native to China. This towering species can reach heights of up to 3 meters, making it one of the tallest vetches in the world. Its large, heart-shaped leaves and showy purple-pink flowers make it a distinctive addition to gardens and natural landscapes. While it is valued for its ornamental appeal, it also plays a role in soil enrichment due to its nitrogen-fixing abilities. Despite its beauty, it requires careful management to prevent it from becoming invasive in certain environments.
