Pea Douce Provence Seeds
Pea Douce Provence is a compact growing variety that only reaches a height of 45cm so requires a little bit of support. Pea Douce Provence is a very early & reliable cropper with an excellent sweet taste.
It can be sown in Autumn/Winter (mid-October - November) and this will produce one of the earliest pea crops (early may onwards). Pea Douce Provence does overwinter well but will benefit from added protection in cold winters to protect new shoots.
It can be sown later (from February to July) to give good successional sowing and later crops (May to October). Water well when flowering and pick regularly to encourage further pods.
Pea Douce Provence makes an excellent variety for containers and pots.
Did you know...
Round Pea seeds, like Pea Douce, provide nowhere for rain/water to collect and will therefore not rot, hence why it is suitable for sowing in Autumn/Winter. Whereas Pea seeds that are wrinkled will harbour rain/water, making them only suitable for sowing in drier months such as spring.
If you want to extend your pea cropping season then look to sow in 3 stages, for example:
| First Earlies | Second Earlies | Maincrop |
| Pea Meteor | Pea Hurst Greenshaft | Pea Alderman |
 |
