Boddingtons Soup Pea

A productive soup pea from the Clydach valley in Wales. We haven’t been able to trace much of its history, but have been impressed with its performance, particularly the extremely difficult summer of 2012.

This variety has smooth greeny-grey seeds, that make a traditional UK style pea soup or tasty mushy peas (if you prefer a darker coloured pea, look at the Latvian variety below). Allow for growth to 6 foot plus, so make frames for them as you would runner beans or climbing french beans.

With all our rare peas, we recommend starting in modules to avoid losses to mice who will happily steal all your freshly planted valuable pea seed!
