Description

The peas we offer here unfortunately do not have the fragrance of sweet peas, but they are indeed perennial.

A robust base emitting flexible stems forming a bush. The compound leaves, without tendrils, have 4 to 6 pairs of ovate leaflets which are beautiful bright green. The flowers in spikes are pale yellow with orange at the tip. They are followed by long sticky pods.
