Snow peas, Norli
Pisum sativum convar. axiphium
This snow pea blooms early with prolific white flowers. Contrasting the snow-coloured flowers, the small pods have a deep green colour. Its height reaches 60 cm and you can harvest beginning in early June. Snow peas are one of the first, and tastiest, rewards from the garden.
Growing instructions
Sow from March to April directly in the field. Space rows at 40 cm apart with 2–3 cm between single seeds at a depth of 5 cm. Alternatively, sow 8–10 seeds in a circle every 40 cm. Seeds must be protected against birds. For trellising, place a branched stake in the centre of each circle or string twine or wire on each side of the rows. Harvest from the beginning of June.
