Little Marvel Shelling Pea

This early heirloom shelling pea forms stocky, semi-dwarf bushes from 30-45 cm (12-18") tall and is well suited to growing in containers or the vegetable bed. Each of Little Marvel's 8-10 cm (3-4") pods contains 6-9 medium green, sugary peas. Can be grown in spring and cut back in time to plant a summer crop, leaving the soil enriched with nitrogen. Little Marvel shelling pea seeds were first introduced as Sutton's Little Marvel in 1900. It is an old, dependable variety with an extended season, fine quality, and heavy yields.
