England is the land of Peas! This historic variety originated around 1846 and is still very popular due to its excellent taste, immense vigour, and high yield! The pods contain 8-10 peas, and the plant can climb up to 3 m! This means: lots of peas in a small area... Give the plants a sunny spot in your garden.
Fun anecdotes: in The Journal of Horticulture 1876, this variety was proclaimed "Best Pea" and it was Charles Darwin's favourite.
