Serpette Guilloteau

A traditional climbing pea, to 1.5 m high, with curved pods full of fat green peas. The name is from the French for a special type of pruning knife, reflecting the remarkable sickle-shape of the pods!

Classed as ‘semi – early’ this makes a good second-early or maincrop pea. It has smooth (rather than wrinkled) seeds, so it can be autumn or early spring without risk of rot, but pick small for sweetness.

Fast growing, curved pods, slightly flattened sweet peas. Now very rare, we are producing here on Ian and Rhiannons farm in Pembrokeshire whenever possible, please save your own seed if you want to keep this old variety going.
