Securigera varia syn. Coronilla varia
Crown Vetch
Pretty pea like pinky white flowers from mid-summer to autumn that sprout from the low growing vine. It is an aggressive spreading plant, spreading by means of the roots, even a small piece of which grow into a plant! - so needs to be kept in check to avoid it taking over your garden and crowding out other plants.
