Embark on a journey of homegrown goodness with our Heirloom Onward Pea Seeds, introducing a popular and productive maincrop variety that graces your garden with large, delicious green pods.
Distinctive Features: Onward is a dwarf shelling pea, renowned for its large green pods. While it can manage without much support due to its dwarf nature, offering a low-maintenance option, providing some support allows it to climb and maximize its yield using its delicate tendrils. This heavy-cropping pea exhibits excellent disease resistance, making it suitable for fresh consumption or drying and storage. Whether autumn or spring-sown, these winter-hardy plants promise a bountiful harvest.
Culinary Notes: The white flowers of Onward transform into delectable pods containing a healthy crop of peas. For the sweetest flavor, harvest when young and consume raw or cooked within 30 minutes to preserve the natural sweetness before the sugar turns to starch.
