About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) are the tender young leaves, stems, and tendrils harvested while pea plants are still small. They provide a fresh, crisp crop for kitchen gardens, raised beds, and containers.
Sow in cool conditions in fertile, well-drained soil and keep the seedbed evenly moist. Harvest young growth above the lowest leaves so healthy plants can continue developing.
