Notes
'Kelvedon Wonder Garden Pea' (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Kelvedon Wonder Garden Pea') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It stays about 12 inches tall and wide, so it fits in small spaces. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms in summer.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Cherry Belle radish, Broccoli, and Celeriac.
