The RHS has awarded this plant with its prestigious Award for Garden Merit, and describes the peas as 'well-flavoured'. At 60cm tall, they are quite compact and need less support than most peas; they are also small enough to grow comfortably in a container! They will also treat you with small, white flowers in summer before the veg starts to grow, as well as pretty green foliage from spring onwards, giving you even more to love about these peas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-sheets-root=\"1\" border=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"97\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"92\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"178\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Perennial\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAnnual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flower: clustered flowers on taller stems\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eVegetable: vining, compact, early crop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flowers June to August\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePeas will be ready to harvest around July - August;
