Description

Extend the sowing season with this major development in pea breeding. In our UK trials, seed was sown in late July and pods were starting to swell by mid October. Good downy and powdery mildew resistance also helps to maximise cropping and prolong the season. This semi-leafless variety is virtually self supporting when grown in a block, and will produce 3-4 pods per node, giving a good average yield of 8 peas to the pod.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Sowing Instructions

Sow every 10 days for successional crops. Sow in flat-bottomed drills 5cm (2in) apart, 5cm (2in) deep and in rows 75cm (30in) apart in well-drained soil, which has been raked to a fine tilth.
