  • Best of both worlds- mangetout and shelled peas
  • Sweet and satisfying
  • Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit

The first wrinkle seeded mangetout. A Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit variety that gives you the best of both worlds in home-grown peas. Here’s how! First pick delicious, sweet flat mangetout pods that are ready from around June if you sow in early spring. Leave at least ten pea pods to develop so they swell to the point they are practically bursting at which point shell out the peas, which are equally sweet and often sweeter than smooth-seeded types.

With every packet of seeds you get full instructions on when to sow and how, plus additional tips on caring for your pea plants as they develop over summer. Each packets contains around 200 seeds with the potential to give you hundreds of pods whether you favour them as early mange-touts or mature, sweet winkled peas.

How To Grow

Peas are one of the easiest and most rewarding crops to grow, offering sweet, fresh harvests straight from the pod. From mangetout and sugarsnaps to traditional shelling peas, sowing from seed gives you the best choice of varieties and a season-long supply.


Outdoor Sowing
Sow directly into well-drained soil from early spring, placing seeds 5cm deep and spacing 7–8cm apart. Keep rows 60cm apart and provide support such as pea sticks, netting or trellis for climbing varieties. Water regularly, especially during flowering, to support healthy pod formation.


Feeding
Start feeding when flowers appear. Apply a high-potash liquid feed every two weeks until the end of harvest, or use a granular fertiliser monthly, watered in well at the base of plants. This boosts flower and pod development for heavier crops.


Harvesting
Pick peas from the bottom upwards, ideally in the morning when sugar levels are at their highest. Regular picking encourages plants to keep producing.


Companion Planting
Peas enrich soil with nitrogen and pair well with carrots, radishes, lettuce, spinach, beans, cucumbers and brassicas. Marigolds and nasturtiums also make excellent companions, helping deter pests naturally.
