Pea 'Alderman'

Pea 'Alderman' is a classic tall maincrop variety, celebrated in the UK for its abundant yields of large, well-filled pods packed with sweet, succulent peas. This climbing variety requires support, such as netting or pea sticks, and can reach heights of up to 1.8 metres, making it an impressive sight in the vegetable patch. 'Alderman' is known for its excellent flavour, making it a favourite for shelling and eating fresh, or for freezing to enjoy later. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Regular watering, especially during flowering and pod development, is crucial for a successful crop. A rewarding pea to grow.
