Notes
'Winter Field Peas' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Winter Field Peas') is an annual for vegetable gardens, cover cropping, and edging a sunny trellis. 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. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Plants range from 12 to 71 inches tall, so you can give taller vines a support.
Pairs well with Taiyo sunflower, Bogatyr garlic, Red fescue, and Zucchini.
