Progress No. 9 Pea Growth Habits:

Non-GMO Progress No. 9 pea (Pisum sativum) plants grow as hardy dwarf vegetables with abundant low-growth as a compact bush. These popular garden-shelling peas provide a fresh fast-maturing crop with 4-5" deep-green pods that can be easily removed from the hearty sweet peas. Your annual heirloom will develop as an early-to-harvest variety and grow on their short-vines longer than other pea varieties. Your Progress No. 9 garden peas will be ready 2-3 weeks after blooming small flowers, but before when the 6-9 peas fully mature, which causes the thick pods to swell. Peas such as "“Laxton"s Progress No. 9" will keep producing until the warmer temperatures set in before going to seed.
