Fothergill's Pea Kelvedon Wonder Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Pisum sativum, a classic, wrinkled-seeded early dwarf pea variety.
• Prolific Heavy Cropper: Remarkably productive for its size, continuously pumping out masses of small, narrow, but exceptionally well-filled dark green pods.
• Superb Successional Sowing: An ideal variety for staggered planting throughout the spring and summer, ensuring a steady, fresh supply of sweet peas over an extended harvesting window.
• Ultra-Compact 45cm Profile: Grows to a neat, manageable height of just 45cm (18in), making it an excellent, low-maintenance option for small garden plots, raised beds, or patio planters.
• Sweet & Tender Peas: Produces smaller, traditional garden peas that are incredibly sweet, juicy, and tender, making them a delicious addition to salads, risottos, or eaten raw straight from the pod.
• Excellent Disease Tolerance: Highly resilient, featuring fantastic natural resistance to pea wilt and downy mildew, which ensures healthy, clean foliage all season long.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors from early spring to mid-summer in flat-bottomed drills 5cm deep, spacing the seeds roughly 5cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil.
• Sow a fresh row every two to three weeks for a continuous, unbroken supply of delicious garden-fresh peas throughout the summer months.
• While the compact 45cm dwarf vines are sturdy, pushing a few short twigs or pea sticks into the soil along the row will help support the heavy weight of the crop and keep pods off the ground.
