Description

Green Arrow Shell Pea is a classic, open-pollinated heirloom variety prized for its dependable yields, cold tolerance, and exceptional flavor. This tall-growing English pea produces long, slender pods filled with plump, tender peas that are sweet, smooth, and perfect for shelling.

Ideal for fresh eating, freezing, or adding to soups and hearty dishes, Green Arrow offers a rich, traditional pea taste that stands out in the garden and kitchen alike. Its vigorous vines produce heavily over an extended harvest period, making it a favorite for gardeners who want a steady supply.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual
• Direct sow: Early spring or late summer for fall harvest
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 1–2 inches
• Height: 24–36 inches (tall vines)
• Days to harvest: 65–70 days

Peas thrive in cool weather and should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked. Provide trellising or support for best results, as vines will climb and benefit from improved air circulation. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil and keep consistently moist during flowering and pod formation. Harvest when pods are filled but still tender for the best flavor and texture.
