  • RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
  • Resistant to downy mildew and fusarium wilt
  • Heavy crops of double pods, easy to harvest

Pea ‘Hurst Green Shaft’ is a top-performing variety, recognised for its excellent flavour, reliability, and disease resistance. Growing to around 70cm tall, it’s a manageable choice for gardens of any size, from compact plots to allotments.

This variety produces double pods up to 10cm long, often carrying as many as 11 peas per pod. The pods form mainly on the upper half of the plants, making picking easier and quicker. Sweet, tender, and perfect for freezing, they are also worthy of exhibiting.

Successional sowing in spring extends the cropping period, providing a generous supply of peas from July through September. With nitrogen-fixing roots that enrich the soil, ‘Hurst Green Shaft’ is as beneficial for your plot as it is delicious on the plate.

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.
