Pea Delikett is a sweet, stringless sugar snap pea with crisp, tender pods. Compact plants yield heavily and thrive in UK gardens with minimal fuss.
[65–75 days] Delikett is a premium sugar snap pea variety known for its sweet, crisp pods and outstanding flavour. The pods are stringless, around 8–9cm long, and stay tender even as they mature, making them perfect for snacking, stir-fries, or adding raw to salads.
This semi-dwarf variety reaches about 60–70cm tall and doesn't require extensive staking, though light support is helpful. It produces a high yield over a compact period, ideal for gardeners with limited space who still want a generous harvest.
Delikett is well-suited to the UK climate and handles cooler conditions with ease. Resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant of variable weather, it's a reliable crop that can be succession sown for an extended picking window.
Both the pods and peas are sweet, crunchy, and perfect straight off the plant or lightly cooked to preserve their flavour and texture.
Height: 70cm (28"). Spread: 25cm (10").
Do Pea Delikett plants need support? Yes, although they are compact, a short net or cane structure will help keep plants upright and productive.
Can I eat the pods raw? Absolutely! Delikett pods are stringless and tender, ideal for raw eating straight from the plant.
When should I harvest Delikett peas? Harvest when pods are plump but still glossy and tender—usually 2 to 3 weeks after flowering begins.
