Notes
'Maxigolt' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Maxigolt') is an annual for containers. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Peas mature in 65 days, so you can plan your sowing around that timing. Each plant spreads about 12 inches, so a roomy pot gives it space to grow.
Pairs well with Disco Mix Marigold French marigold, Bogatyr garlic, and Sunny Smile sunflower.
