- Product number: 095900

One of the lowest and earliest of all sugar peas, maturing in 65-70 days! The height is 60-70 cm. This variety is absolutely stringless, mildew-resistant, and highly resistant to a mosaic virus. In multiple taste tests, 'Nairobi' came out on top!
Deliciously sweet with tender skin. You don't need to shell the peas, just remove the tips. Harvest them relatively young. Briefly stew them or eat them raw in salads!
