A Welsh variety from the Heritage Seed Library
Approx 60 seeds per pack.
Seed Story: An exceptionally good Welsh heritage variety with a romantic story behind it. At the end of the First World War, a German prisoner of war returned to the Llanover Estate to marry a Welsh girl and brought the seeds with him. Not surprisingly, gardeners have kept them in cultivation ever since. Its vigorous plants produce plentiful plump pods of unusually large peas, which are sweet and delicious. They grow to about 1.5m tall and need strong
supports.
