Pea Alaska

Pea Alaska (Pisum sativum) is a popular, fast-growing pea variety known for its ability to thrive in cooler climates and short growing seasons. With its cold-hardy nature, it is one of the earliest peas to be sown in the garden, often producing harvestable pods within 55 days. This variety features compact, bushy plants that bloom with delicate white flowers before developing smooth, green pods filled with tender, sweet peas. Pea Alaska is ideal for fresh eating, canning, and freezing, offering versatility in the kitchen. It grows best in full sun and well-drained soil, and its compact size makes it suitable for container gardening. Being self-pollinating and moderately disease-resistant, Pea Alaska is easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. Its rapid growth and high yield ensure a plentiful supply of delicious peas for springtime enjoyment.
