Product Description
Asparagus Pea, contrary to its name, isn't a tasty asparagus plant - it's a pea plant! These low-growing plants produce frilled green pods. However, they taste very similar to asparagus, hence their name. Pick them small, no longer than 3cm long, as they can become stringy if they're longer. Will produce attractive red flowers.

Growing at a glance…
Sow indoors in pots from March to April or directly outside by the end of May, once the threat of frost has passed. Sow one seed per pot/module. Cover with compost and water in well. Will take roughly 5-7 days under glass to germinate. Acclimatise in a cold frame or greenhouse before planting directly outside.
