Pea 'Hurst Greenshaft' Seeds

Overview

Pea ‘Hurst Greenshaft’ is an old favourite that still rivals new varieties.

Pea ‘Hurst Greenshaft’ produces long pods with 8-9 peas per pod that are easy to shell. They are full of sweet, fresh pea flavour & crop heavily over a long period – just keep picking to ensure lots more peas.

It is a second early variety that grows to about 1-1.5m tall and so makes a good variety to grow in a large pot/container with support.

Which? Gardening trials (April 2012) showed this variety produced ‘high yields’ and ‘was highly rated for pea flavour.’
