Deer Vetch is a woody perennial shrub native to California and Baja California that grows 3-5 feet tall and wide. It has attractive yellow pea-like flowers in spring and summer that attract butterflies and bees. Deer Vetch is drought tolerant, needs full sun, and grows quickly, making it suitable for erosion control, butterfly gardens, or areas where soil needs improvement. It can reseed readily and increases usable soil nitrogen.
