How to grow Pea 'Calvert'

  • Partial Sun

  • Very High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water very often. Calvert is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Calvert needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Calvert from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between Pea plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 4°C / 39°F.

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

Transplanting Calvert

Calvert is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
