Sow True Seed Southern Pea Seeds

Best heirloom choice for gardeners seeking creamy, easy-to-shell legumes.

This pre-1860 heirloom offers a rare, creamy richness that puts modern supermarket varieties to shame. You will need a four-foot trellis and a bit of patience for the 85-day harvest, but the reward is a uniquely meaty pea that is remarkably easy to shell.
