Pea – Alaska Early (Earliest of All)

Description

The Alaska Early Pea (Pisum sativum), originally named Earliest of All, has a lot of great qualities. As you can guess, it’s one of the earliest to produce in only 55 days. It’s a semi-dwarf frost-tolerant bush variety that grows to only 2′-3′ tall and doesn’t require staking. And it produces lots of 2″-3″ pods with 5-8 small, plump, smooth, peas inside. Nice flavor that isn’t too sweet. It was renamed in the late 1800s after the steamship Alaska. Can be grown in Alaska, the lower 48, and Hawaii.

  • Not too sweet
  • Full sun

  • Early maturity—55 days

Good companion plants: Bean, Carrot, Cucumber, Parsley, Pepper, Sage, Spinach, Squash, Strawberry, Thyme
