Anyone who’s spent too much of their garden time hunting for green peas amongst green pea vines knows that the struggle is real! Well, no more! Here’s a gorgeous purple-podded snap pea that’s a synch to spot. Growing best in cool weather (production will continue up thru mid-Summer before petering out), this highly ornamental edible features gorgeous pink and purple bouquet-worthy blooms followed by 3” dark purple pods. Give it a trellis or cage to clamber up and it should reach about 6’ tall. Not the most productive variety, so if you want a big harvest it’s best to plant a few, but if you just want a handful each day to toss into salads, then one plant is fine. Harvest pods before the seeds plump up – they keep their purple color when cooked. The more you pick, the more it will produce! Grown from seed, so expect some variability including the occasional green-podded plant.
