History & Heritage
‘Greenfeast’ is a long-time favourite shelling pea, grown in home gardens across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK for decades. Known for its reliability in cooler seasons, it has earned a place as one of the most trusted traditional pea varieties.
Heavy cropping variety that produces plump, sweet peas in pods about 10–12 cm long.
Excellent for fresh eating, freezing, or cooking, retaining sweetness and tenderness.
Compact, bushy plants are easy to manage in small gardens.
Days to harvest: ~65–75 days from sowing.
Plant height: ~60–90 cm, may benefit from light staking or trellising.
Harvest regularly to encourage more pods.
Thrives in cooler seasons (autumn–spring sowing).
Prefers full sun and free-draining soil.
Keep moisture consistent for sweeter peas.
