This genus consists of a limited number of annual flowering plants belonging to the legume family. Originating from southwestern Asia and northeastern Africa, the species P. sativum is extensively grown for its edible seeds. The stems, which are hollow, can climb or trail along surfaces and feature compound leaves along with tendrils. The flowers, shaped like butterflies, typically appear in clusters of one to three on each stem. The reproductive structure is a pod.

Pisum sativum 'Delikata' is a mangetout pea cultivar that reaches approximately 1.3 meters in height. It features robust, elongated, and crisp green pods that can be harvested throughout a lengthy season from early summer to autumn. If allowed to mature, the pods can be shelled to reveal sweet, wrinkled peas. As nitrogen-fixing annuals, these plants utilize tendrils to climb and can grow up to 2 meters tall. The foliage consists of pinnate leaves with up to eight glaucous, rounded elliptic to oblong leaflets, each measuring up to 7 cm in length. In summer, the plants produce white flowers, around 3 cm long, which give way to cylindrical pods filled with protein-rich seeds, ready for harvest until the onset of frost. Both the pods and seeds from sugar snap varieties are edible, as are the flat pods of mangetout types, along with the young shoots and leaves.

Pisum sativum 'Delikett' is a compact sugarsnap pea that reaches heights between 0.6 and 1.5 meters. It produces succulent, sweet green pods that measure approximately 8 centimeters in length, 1.3 centimeters in width, and 0.8 centimeters in thickness. The pods are stringless when harvested young but develop a thicker, sweeter profile and become stringier as they mature. This variety offers a prolonged harvest season. As an annual, these plants fix nitrogen in the soil and can climb to 2 meters, utilizing tendrils for support. The foliage consists of pinnate leaves, featuring up to eight glaucous, rounded to oblong leaflets, each reaching lengths of around 7 centimeters. In summer, 'Delikett' produces typically white flowers about 3 centimeters long, which are followed by cylindrical pods containing round, green seeds rich in protein. Both the pods and seeds are edible, and this variety, along with mangetout types, features edible flattened pods, while the young shoots and leaves are also consumable.

Pisum sativum 'Douce Provence' is a compact pea variety that grows to a height of 45 cm. It features green foliage and employs tendrils for climbing; however, due to its short stature, it does not require any support. The plant produces white flowers that mature into pods filled with a generous yield of peas during the summer months. This annual plant completes its life cycle in a single summer, but it can be sown in the autumn for an earlier harvest in the spring.
