Pisum sativum, known as Champion of England, is a tall, vining pea variety that can reach up to 8 feet when supported by a trellis. It produces large, sweet peas encased in long, plump pods. This classic heirloom variety dates back to the 19th century and remains a favorite among gardeners due to its high productivity and rich taste. The peas can be enjoyed fresh, frozen, or dried for later use.
This variety thrives in cool temperatures and prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.. It grows best when planted in early spring or late summer, as it does not tolerate excessive heat. Full sun to partial shade is ideal for optimal growth and pod development.
For best results, sow seeds directly outdoors to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them to inches apart in rows. Provide sturdy trellises or supports for the vines to climb, ensuring better airflow and ease of harvesting.
Water peas consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Adding mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
