The different Wicken species
Wicken, of which there are about 160 wild-looking species and breeding forms, belong to the butterfly plants. The pretty plants are predominantly found in the northern, temperate regions. The cultivated in many gardens, one-year sweet pea vine does not belong as often assumed to the genus of Wicken, but is a subspecies of the also widespread pea peas. Nevertheless, we would like to dedicate ourselves in this article to this pretty ornamental plant, as it is also referred to in our parlance as Wicke.

Tips
Many of the wilde species cultivated in the gardens and wild are weakly poisonous in all plant parts, especially the seeds. Therefore, vetching should not be planted in gardens where small children play unattended.
