The 'Petit Provençal' Pea is a charming and generous variety that evokes the simple pleasure of spring harvests, when the pods fill with tender, sweet peas, ready to be picked almost directly for the table. Compact and productive, it fits easily into small vegetable gardens, where its neat habit and fast growth offer great satisfaction to gardeners of all levels. Its smooth, shiny green pods contain peas with a mild and delicate flavor, delicious raw, lightly blanched, or added to a host of homemade recipes.
