An old variety that blooms beautifully with large flowers. The pods are relatively large, thick-walled and have a deliciously sweet taste. The pods are eaten whole, fresh or lightly cooked. Harvest before the pods begin to round. Sow in batches for a longer harvest time. Thrives in rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly. Give the plants support. Change the location of the peas in the vegetable garden every year. They fertilize the soil.
