Pea 'Jumbo'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Jumbo is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Jumbo requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 6.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

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

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Jumbo about 42 days before your last frost date.

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