Pea Seeds 'Carouby de Maussanne'
Pea 'Carouby de Maussanne' is a very attractive large mangetout pea that has flowers so pretty they could be grown in the garden borders!

Pea 'Carouby de Maussanne' is a tall variety (75cm) that produces bicoloured deep pink/mauve flowers followed by large flat pods that grow in pairs. The pods have a very sweet flavour and if any mangetout size pods are missed they can be left to mature & be shelled like normal peas.

Pea 'Carouby de Maussanne' pods tastes great sliced raw in salads or very lightly/quickly steamed or gently cooked in stir-fries at the last minute.

It is a heritage variety and is believed to date back to the 1800's.

Approx 100 seeds per pack.
