Sweet, garden-fresh peas with a vivid, spring-green glow—Korvin delivers a tender shelling experience that feels velvety in the pod and pops with clean, sweet flavor at harvest. The peas develop with a fine, uniform texture and hold their quality well for repeat picking, making them a standout for home growers who want reliable performance at 62 days. Grow Korvin for abundant, straight-from-the-vine shelling and for turning your harvest into bright, green spoonfuls all season long.

Sowing Tips

Soil Temperature

Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 40°F for reliable germination and early growth.

Expert Note

Sow Korvin peas directly in cool soil as soon as you can work it, because peas hate transplanting and this variety’s tendrils help it climb/hold in broad blocks without a trellis.

Crop Dates

Growing note: Zone 1a has only 30 frost-free days — shorter than this crop's 62-day maturity. Outdoor planting is not viable; use protected cultivation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pest problem is most common on Pisum sativum (pea) and what should I do about it?
Watch for pea aphids, which cluster on tender shoots and can cause distorted, sticky growth. Spray plants with a strong jet of water to dislodge aphids, then apply insecticidal soap (focus on the undersides of leaves) and repeat every 5–7 days until they’re gone. Keep plants from getting overly dense to reduce outbreaks and encourage airflow.
How often should I water Pisum sativum during the main growing phase?
During flowering and pod fill (roughly mid-season), keep the soil consistently evenly moist—about 1 inch (2.5 cm) per week total, adjusted for rain and heat. Water deeply when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry, rather than frequent light watering, to support steady pod development. Avoid waterlogged soil because peas dislike standing moisture around the roots.
How do I tell when Pisum sativum is ready to harvest?
Harvest peas when pods are fully filled but still tender: the peas inside should feel plump through the pod and the pods look firm, not bulging or tough. For shelling peas, pick frequently once they start producing—every 1–2 days—because pods can quickly get starchy after they mature. Most Pisum sativum cultivars are ready around 60–65 days from sowing, aligning with your ~62 days to maturity.
