Recognised for its long, well-filled pods that boast 8 to 9 sweet peas each, this dependable plant reaches heights of 24 to 28 in. Ideal for both fresh eating and preserving, Homesteader peas are a staple that many gardeners return to year after year.
Size: Mature plants grow 24 to 28 in. tall with long pods filled with 8 to 9 peas.

My Mom always used Lincoln Homwsteader peas. She said they were the best. I've always grown these peas.
Excellent seeds. Last year hardly anything came up in my garden with the seeds I bought locally. This year everything came up. I received my order quickly. I will definitely order from T&T again next year!
