Franchi Piccolo Provenzale Dwarf Pea is a traditional Italian heirloom pea variety prized for its compact growth, abundant harvests and exceptionally sweet, tender peas. This early-producing dwarf pea develops sturdy, manageable plants that are ideal for smaller gardens, raised beds and container growing while still delivering generous crops of vibrant green pods.
The pods are filled with small, round peas known for their delicate sweetness and smooth texture, making them perfect for fresh eating, salads, risottos, soups and classic Mediterranean recipes. Its compact habit reduces the need for extensive support, making it especially easy to cultivate for gardeners of all experience levels. This cool-season crop performs beautifully in spring and autumn conditions and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage continued pod production throughout the season.
