So my questions: can you eat perpetual sweet peas?

The peas we eat are Pisum sativum, the sweepeas which bear the flowers we
enjoy are Lathyrus sativus

Lathyrus odoratus?

L sativum is the one with small steel blue flowers.

which can be very poisonous unless eaten in a
particularly careful fashion.

I didn't realise they aren't even the same genus. Oh well, back to
fending off the mice & pigeons then.
