Winter Peas

Pisum sativum ssp. arvense

Winter Peas are considered a cool-season annual legume, although it can be successfully grown in the spring/summer in cooler regions. It is a low-growing, vine like plant that can reach 2- to 4-feet tall, depending on soil fertility and management. Winter-hardy peas, especially Austrian Winter Peas, can withstand temperatures as low as 10° F with only minor injury. They are sensitive to heat, particularly in combination with humidity. They tend to languish in mid-summer even in the cool Northeast. Winter Peas produce flowers in the spring, which are pinkish-purple in color.
