Notes
'Freezonian' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Freezonian') is an annual for vegetable gardens, trellises, and containers. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. The vines can climb up to 71 inches, so give them a support.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Cherry Belle radish, Broccoli, and Potato.
