Each pod contains 7-9 large, mouth-watering, very sweet, deep green peas that have a distinct, superior flavour and are excellent fresh or for freezing. This early 1900’s introduction is the standard by which all the others are graded.

Little Marvel — Approx. 70-100 sds/pkt. This exquisitely sweet old favourite deserves a place in every home garden.

Sugar Snap Vine (Snap Peas) — Approx. 65-70 sds/pkt. An edible-podded pea with a flavour and texture that tastes terrific! Features 7.5 (3") long, round pods with thick, fleshy walls and crunchy sweetness. The 120-180 cm (4′-6′) high vines are best supported on a trellis or fence, which just makes the pods all the easier to eat straight from the vine.
