Pea Alderman Seeds
Pea 'Alderman' (Pisum Sativum) is a Heritage Maincrop. The most popular maincrop variety, a very heavy cropper of large pods containing up to 11 peas.
Pea Alderman has a tall growth habit that will require support, as they can grow to over 180cm.
Did you know...
Round Pea seeds, like Pea Meteor, provide nowhere for rain/water to collect and will therefore not rot, hence why it is suitable for sowing in Autumn/Winter. Whereas Pea seeds that are wrinkled, like Pea Onward will harbour rain/water, making them only suitable for sowing in drier months such as spring.
