Are sweet-peas flowers or vegetables?

They're both, really. A sweet-pea grown for its flowers is a plant from the tribe Vicieae, as is the plant that we grow for green peas that we eat at the table. The flower is Lathyrus odoratus (L. odoratus); the vegetable is Pisum sativum (P. sativum). They are not quite the same plant, but are very closely related - same tribe, but different genus and species.

I guess they are flowers. I always thought they were vegetables until your question...Good one, check out the link. It shows sweat-pea flowers.
Reply:oh I thought Sweet Peas are Veggies now I learned again. Last year we tried Broccoli and my Sister in law that lives down here told us that our Broccoli was overly done because it had yellow flowers on them.

Veggies - actual sweet peas





Two different plants, same name.

Reply:Peas are `Legumes`, both the Garden Pea, which has edible seeds, and the Sweet Pea which has POISONOUS seeds. Sweet Peas are FLOWERS, purely decorative.
