September Pea

Very late maturing pea. Does not mature at Heritage Farm. Small, light to dark brown seeds with squared ends. Weakly sprawling. Slight pigmentation on the foliage. Pale violet flowers. From the P.L. Woodard Farm Supply store in Wilson, North Carolina, which was run by Mr. Carol Coleman for over 40 years. (SSE estimates since at least the early 70s.) The store sold this variety to its customers all that time. In about 2012, the current store owner, Penny Womble, shared seeds of this variety with local resident Bob Bulluck. Since it is no longer commercially available, Bob donated this variety with SSE in 2017. SSE Accession # 133487
