Green Peas, known as Matar in Hindi, are a sweet, tender legume vegetable and a Winter kitchen garden favorite across India. This Pisum sativum open pollinated variety grows as a climbing vine 60–150 cm tall, producing medium pods ready for harvest in 60–80 days.
Beginner-friendly and well suited to trellis growing, Green Peas benefit from support as the vine climbs. Pair with our HDPE Rectangular Grow Bags placed near a trellis or netting for compact terrace growing.
Direct sow seeds from October to January for a Winter harvest, spacing seeds close together at 5–10 cm apart in rows 45–60 cm apart. Green Peas pair well in the garden with Carrot, Radish, Spinach, and Turnip — see our Radish F1 Hybrid seeds to grow a classic winter combination.
How to Grow Green Peas (Matar)
Green Peas Growing Season in India
Green Peas grow best in India during Autumn and Winter, with the ideal sowing window falling between October and January. Cool 10–25°C temperatures throughout the growing period produce the sweetest, most tender pods.
How to Grow Green Peas on a Trellis
As a climbing vine, Green Peas benefit from support, especially the taller varieties. - Provide a trellis, netting, or twiggy sticks for the vine to climb - Recommended spacing: 5–10 cm between plants, 45–60 cm between rows - Sowing depth: 2–3 cm, directly into moist soil
Sowing and Germination
Sow seeds directly 2–3 cm deep in well-drained soil. Germination takes 7–14 days in cool conditions. For India-specific sowing calendars by region, ICAR's state agricultural university network publishes seasonal guidance.
Ongoing Care
Water moderately and train young vines onto support early. Full sun is important, though Green Peas tolerate cooler temperatures better than most fruiting vegetables. Harvest pods while still bright green and slightly immature, typically 60–80 days after sowing — regular picking encourages the vine to keep flowering and producing new pods.
