About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An early wrinkled pea with compact growth that needs only a low support of twigs. The well filled pods ripen from the end of June and can also be used for a second sowing in midsummer. Robust against mildew and therefore a dependable classic for the bed.
Eaten fresh from the pod the peas taste noticeably sweet and stay pleasantly tender. They keep their delicate flavour when cooked.
