This heirloom shelling pea dates back to 1880. The earliest maturing variety, Alaska is a versatile, reliable pea that grows well in cool soil, so it is great for northern regions. The short vines grow to 90cm (36") and can benefit from some support. Expect heavy yields of round, straight, pale green pods, each containing 5-8 smooth peas. For drying as soup peas, let the plants mature to 80 days.

Matures in 55 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
