GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland
Pisum sativum
A particularly hardy Norwegian sugar pea first released in 1958. The plants are robust, high-yielding, grow to between 1.5–1.8 m tall and produce lovely large dark green pods 10–12 cm in length.
This variety has recently been successfully trialled to produce peas in northern sub-Arctic latitudes - even as far North as Tromsø, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. The trial formed a part of the "Arctic Pea" project conducted by NordGen, the Nordic Genetic Resource Centre.

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: If you have problems with mice, lay some prickly plants, like gorse or holly, on the ground to protect the peas.
Germination 96% Sep 2026
