Flamingo Spring Pea
The flamingo spring pea is a pink pea that’s early to mature, with good standing ability. The pink colour is due to the vibrant orange of the cotyledon visible through the semi-transparent white skin.
A Cope exclusive variety, the Flamingo spring pea is featured on the PGRO Pule Descriptive List and saw the creation of a new pink pea category.
Marketing these pink peas to consumers through a collaboration with Holland and Barret is novel premium crop specialist, Hodmedod.
