How to grow Pea 'Usui'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Usui is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 5.5 and 6.5 as Pea is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Growing Usui from seed

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.

Transplanting Usui

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