Flamingo spring pea for spring planting!
This Valentine’s Day, leading seed and grain specialist – Cope Seeds, is launching a new, high performing pink pea variety.
Flamingo not only presents an innovative product, with a strong consumer market demand, it’s a consistent high yielding pea with premium potential.
“The Flamingo spring pea is a pink pea that’s early to mature, with good standing ability. Its unique pink colour remains even after cooking, which presents great human consumption market potential,” says Gemma Clarke, Cope Seeds director.
Treated yield comparison data shows it to perform better than established market leader Prophet, with long straw and good standing ability.
