Notes
'Teton' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Teton') is an annual for vegetable gardens and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Plants grow 12 to 71 inches tall and spread about 12 inches, so a trellis helps the taller vines. Blooms open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Cherry Belle radish, Broccoli, and Celeriac.
