'Waverex' Petit Pois Pea Plant
- Grow your very own delicious, kitchen-ready (and insanely moreish) petit pois with Waverex
- There are heavy cropping plants... and then there's Waverex! This plant produces an abundance of crunchy pods, with each housing multiple super sweet peas
- This dwarf, heirloom variety produces ready-to-harvest peas between the months of June and September
- This compact, semi-bushy plant can be grown in containers and is perfect for those gardeners limited on space
- Its diminutive stature (when compared with many pea plants) means that it can often be grown without supports - some minimal staking might be required if you notice the plant start to lose its upright position

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.
