Princess is a moderately tall-strawed, semi-leafless variety. Maturity and standing ability are comparable with Kahuna.
Princess is resistant to pea wilt but, in common with the other marrowfat varieties, susceptible to downy mildew.
Princess is a preferred variety for UK human consumption outlets being used for dry packet sales, canning and the 'mushy pea' trade.
