The Little Marvel Pea is a hardy and high-yielding pea plant that grows to a height of between 18 to 20 inches tall. It is actually considered a dwarf plant and does not require staking to produce an abundance of the podded vegetables.
They have dark green foliage and a spread of about 5 inches. The small but plump peas themselves have a distinct sweet taste. Grows best in hardiness zones 3 to 9 and can handle cooler temperatures and light frosts.
