Pea 'Avola'

A partial sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Avola is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Avola needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Look to ensure a distance 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Avola about 35 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Avola is a half hardy plant.
