Alaska pea seeds - Vegetable Plant

Alaska pea is a cool-season, early-maturing variety known for its compact, vining growth and reliable pod production. It develops slender stems with tendrils that can climb light supports, making it suitable for trellised or supported garden beds. This variety grows well in temperate climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Alaska pea establishes quickly and produces pods over a defined period during the growing season.
