Description
Pisum sativum 'Annonay' is a variety of dwarf shelling pea, 50cm (20in) tall. It produces straight pods containing between 6 and 8 round and smooth peas of medium size. Harvest from April to July.
The pea is an annual vegetable plant that has a very ancient origin in the Near East. It is one of the oldest vegetables cultivated in Europe and Asia and was long consumed dry, crushed before cooking. Its fresh consumption is rather recent, and its nutritional and gustatory qualities make it an excellent spring vegetable.
There are many varieties. They are either dwarf or climbing (pole) peas, that produce pods containing round, wrinkled, or smooth peas. Either the pod must be shelled, or it can be consumed whole.
For shelling peas, the pod is not suitable for consumption as it is parchment-like. It must therefore be shelled. Shelling peas include many different varieties: wrinkled peas, which are sweeter and more heat-tolerant, and smooth or round peas, which are more suitable for early cultivation as they are hardier and less sensitive to humidity. In the vegetable garden, smooth peas are sown first, and wrinkled peas are sown later.
The "mangetout" or "gourmand" pea bears non-parchment-like pods that are edible in their entirety. They are harvested before the complete formation of the seeds. Later, it can be shelled to be consumed like a fresh pea.
Crunchy peas can also be found, which are sweeter. The peas are consumed with their pods.
Peas like mild and humid climates. They fear extremes: heat, frost, lack and excess of water.
Harvest: depending on the earliness of the varieties, peas are harvested between two and a half to four months after sowing. Pick mangetout peas when the peas have just formed. Enjoy them as soon as possible.
Storage: fresh peas can be stored for 48 hours in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator.
The gardener's trick: like all plants in the Fabaceae family, peas enrich the soil with nitrogen. They are part of a four-year rotation. Peas are low-nutrient-demanding plants. Peas also work very well with carrots, celery, cabbage, turnips, potatoes, and radishes as they mutually protect each other. Avoid the presence of alliums or fennels as their growth inhibits each other.

Planting and care
Sowing
Before sowing, soak the seeds in a little water for 24 hours to stimulate germination.
For this smooth-seed variety, you can sow in autumn around October-November for an early harvest in April, or sow from mid-February to late April for a summer harvest. Even though this variety can germinate in cold weather, it is wise to protect the seedlings with a forcing cover that will create a favourable microclimate for uniform germination and protect the young plants from birds.
Using a hoe, create furrows 2 or 3cm (1in) deep, spaced 40cm (16in) apart. Space the seeds 2cm (1in) apart, cover with soil, press down with the back of a rake, and water with a fine spray. Do not thin out.
Watering
A few days after germination, weed along the rows. Water with a watering can fitted with a rose to avoid compacting the soil.
Once the plants have grown, mulch the soil after a rainy period.
Do not let the soil dry out, as peas appreciate moisture. They need regular moisture from sowing to flowering and pod formation. If there is water stress, the yield is affected. The flowers drop and the pods do not ripen. The flowers also abort in case of excess water. Maintaining moisture like this helps limit thrip infestations.
Maintenance
Three to four weeks after seedling emergence, carefully weed and mound up the base of the stems with about 10cm (4in) of soil to encourage better rooting. Set up supports such as stakes, branches (willow, hazel, privet), netting, or trellis (even dwarf varieties need support so that they do not sag).
Pinch the stems of dwarf peas above the fifth or sixth group of flowers to hasten production.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
