Description

A proven variety that grows to a height of 80 - 100 cm and produces beautiful, yellow-green pods. In general, the best harvest time is when the pea grains have reached half their size. However, this variety can still be eaten with the pod when the grains have reached their maximum size. It is used raw or cooked.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

The sowing time differs depending on the variety. In general, early sowing is preferable, as diseases can occur more frequently with later sowing. Pre-cultivation approx. 2 weeks before the planting date is also possible, but not absolutely necessary. Peas need a climbing aid, trellises are best suited for this. They are also well suited as a pre-crop, as they are harvested early. You should take a cultivation break of 3-5 years with nightshade plants and other legumes.
