Pea 'Wando'

Wando is a popular variety of Pea, which belongs to the Pisum genus (Pisum sativum 'Wando'). 'Wando' is considered a heirloom cultivar.

This heirloom shelling pea can take heat much better than other varieties. It is an excellent choice for warm climates or for late planting. Though, it is a heat tolerant variety, it also handles the cold as well as other peas, so it can be planted in early spring just the same. The 18"-30" plants have 7-8 medium sized peas in each 3 1/2" pod. Sow a crop in early spring for summer harvest and another crop in mid-summer for fall harvest. In zones 9-11, they can even be grown for winter harvest.

As Wando Pea is a low maintanence plant, it is great for beginner gardeners and those that like gardens that don't need much overseeing.
