Pisum sativum
Very vigorous, tall-growing mangetout with violet flowers and ever-so-sweet pods. Heraut are delicious raw, when picked young and still flat, steamed or stir-fried, fantastic in salads and you can eat them 'pod and all'. They produce an early crop of sugar snap peas on productive and hardy plants. If picked regularly, more growth is encouraged. This variety is quick to be ready to harvest and has a great taste, too. So much so that we couldn't resist snacking on it while growing it. (Approximate seed count - 60)
