GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland

Pisum sativum

'Duke of Albany' (selected stock) is a heritage variety featured in our copies of the Alexander & Brown Seed Catalogue 1935/39. We have been really impressed with these sturdy plants in our 2024 trials and are excited to make them available. 

Main crop, podding peas that grow to >2m tall with a profusion of white flowers, followed by long dark green pods containing between 9 and 12 peas. 

The Alexander & Brown description from the 1935 catalogue: "A main-crop wrinkled variety, being of vigorous and branching habit; height 5 to 6 feet"  

Alexander & Brown, known as 'The Scottish Seed House, Perth', were in business from 1897 to 1981. Operating from South Methven, Perth, they produced an impressive illustrated seed catalogue of over 100 pages featuring an extensive range of seed potatoes, vegetable and flower seeds. 

*Due to limited Stock this variety will only be available in our Heritage Seed Collection.*

Growing Info

Sowing: We sow peas in modules in March for transplanting outdoors in mid to late April, giving young plants some protection from wind in exposed spots. Alternatively, sow directly into the soil from April to May. June is also a good time for sowing a late summer or autumn harvest.

Spacing: 15cm

Harvest: Jun-Sep

Tips: Try hanging old CD's on a string from the pea supports to keep the birds off, most genres tested seem to be effective.

Germination 96% Sep 2026

Postage

All seeds are posted via Royal Mail 48-hour tracked service. Prices will be calculated at checkout.  Due to our Highland location, postage can be expensive, so we recommend ordering several seed packets at once to make the most of the cost.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
