The sweetness of garden peas is legendary. This Burpee-bred early, extremely prolific, all-purpose pea produces straight 4 1/2" pods filled with 8 to 10 medium to large peas. Pods of this heirloom variety remain stringless and sweet longer than most others. It freezes well and is an outstanding winter crop in Zones 9-11. The best way to stretch the harvest is to plant early and late varieties. Direct-sow in early spring, again in midsummer for a fall crop. 200-225 seeds per packet, sows about 30' of row. Our seeds are not treated.
