Charmette – Dwarf petit-pois type

Our Charmette was first given to us by Andrew and Sarah of the Seed Ambassadors Project. 

It’s a truly gourmet ‘petit pois’ type of pea , making huge numbers of pods crammed full of very tender little peas, meant to be picked young and cooking only lightly. Exceptionally tender and well-flavoured.

This ‘charming’ variety needs little or no support if grown in double rows as the plants only grow to around 2ft tall.

Very rare now; we think this lovely pea is extinct other than our seedbank. Just 100 packets released this year.
