- The creme de la creme of mangetout, this French heritage variety has a sweet flavour, top tier crunch and beautiful lilac flowers
- Perfect for stir fries, sides, salads and snacking
- Grow in raised beds or pots - these climbing plants don't take up much space but will need support
- Heavy cropping, mainly due to the fact that pollinators LOVE these flowers...
- Plant out after the last frost and harvest when the pods are fully formed
- Premium mangetout plants grown on a family run farm in Lancashire and sent to you at the best possible time for planting
- Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint than anything you can buy from a shop (and infinitely better taste)
- Easy to grow and care for - you should see your first crop within 12-15

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
