Snow peas, Weggiser
Pisum sativum convar. axiphium
The 'Weggiser' snow peas is an old variety from Weggis in the canton of Lucerne.
It produces beautiful, tender, sweet green pods. The purple flowers are highly decorative and can be eaten, as can the young shoots. The abundant pods can be harvested from early June to mid-July. The plant reaches a height of around 1 m.
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.
