Wando Bush Pea Seeds

Wando Bush Pea Seeds grow a shelling pea that is more heat and drought tolerant than most varieties, with remarkable resistance to warm weather. A good yielder of peas high in vitamins A, B, and C, it produces dark green, blunt, well-filled pods holding 6 to 8 tender, medium-sized peas that are sweet and great for freezing.
