Bolero Pea (Pisum sativum ‘Bolero’)

Bolero Pea (Pisum sativum ‘Bolero’) is a productive shelling pea variety prized for its sweet flavour, heavy yields, and excellent disease resistance. This dependable garden favourite produces well-filled pods packed with tender, delicious peas that are perfect for fresh eating, freezing, cooking, and preserving.

The vigorous plants develop abundant pods over a concentrated harvest period, making Bolero an excellent choice for gardeners seeking reliable production and easy harvesting. The sweet peas maintain excellent flavour and texture whether enjoyed fresh from the garden or preserved for later use. Its strong disease resistance helps ensure consistent performance throughout the growing season.

Bolero peas thrive in cooler growing conditions and are among the first vegetables that can be planted in spring. The attractive vines produce delicate white flowers before developing their heavy crop of pods, while also helping support pollinators in the vegetable garden.

In Alberta, Bolero Peas perform best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Providing a trellis or support system helps maximize production and makes harvesting easier.
