Lincoln peas are a high-yielding variety of garden pea that are known for their sweet, tender flavor and heat tolerance.
High Yielding: Lincoln peas produce pairs of 4½- to 5-inch pods loaded with 6 to 9 well-stuffed peas, making them a favorite for gardeners looking for a bountiful harvest. These peas are often described as having an incredibly sweet, delicious flavor, making them a favorite for fresh eating or freezing. Lincoln peas are among the most heat-tolerant garden peas, which makes them a good choice for gardeners in warm, humid climates. They grow as a bush, reaching about 25 to 30 inches high, and can be grown in bushier form with little to no support. Lincoln peas are best planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest, as they thrive in cool weather. These peas show excellent resistance to bacterial wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, and are heat tolerant.
