Sweet pea This sweet pea is sweet, sugary and tender. Large white flowers are a bonus. If you don't want to do a lot of work, you should definitely give this variety a try. It only grows to about medium height, but has a very high yield - due to the size of the pods! They grow to a length of 12 cm! This historic pea variety was very successful in its day and was grown in almost all home gardens.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
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.
