Pea Mangetout Sweet Green Norli Seeds - Dwarf Plant

Mangetout Pea ‘Sweet Green Norli’ 

Early, Dwarf, Sweet & Stringless

Description

‘Sweet Green Norli’ is a very popular dwarf mangetout variety which has an early crop, of tender, stringless pods. Growing to a height of just 50–60 cm, it’s perfect for smaller gardens, raised beds, and containers, needing only limited support. The pods are best picked young and flat, delivering a crisp, sweet flavour ideal for salads, steaming, or stir-fries.

Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, ‘Sweet Green Norli’ is reliable, disease-tolerant (especially against fusarium wilt), and an easy, rewarding choice for home growers wanting high yields in a small space.

Growing Instructions

Grow in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained but fertile soil. Although a dwarf variety, giving plants light support (twigs, mesh, or pea sticks) when 8–15 cm tall improves yield and keeps pods clean. Water regularly during dry spells and pick pods often while young and flat — this encourages continuous cropping and the sweetest flavour.
