Vicia amoena, the lovely vetch, is a herbaceous perennial climbing plant in the genus Vicia. Vicia amoena is widely distributed in Northeast Asia. The habitat is thickets and meadows, as well as grasslands, hills, slopes and occasionally forests. The plant produces beautiful pinkish-purple flowers, which are grow in clusters. The much-branched stems scramble over the ground, climbing into the surrounding vegetation where they attach themselves by means of tendrils. In Korea, the leaves are used as food.
