    Features

    This petite, afila-type shelling pea grows as a uniform hedge, producing beautiful white flowers and sweet, snackable fruit. Its vines stick together like Velcro, keeping the plant upright and the pods off the ground. A compact structure allows it to be grown in 8 to 10-inch containers, raised beds and small gardens. Keep the spacing tight to allow the curling tendrils to grow together as the plant matures.
