An heirloom snow pea variety famous for its purple blossoms and subtly redish-tinted stems and leaves. They are best eaten fresh, used in salad mixes or lightly sauteed. Pea pods avg. 2 1/2" long.
The plant will grow on average 36 " tall.
Ed’s Special Advice
Harvest pods daily as they are most tender and delicious when eaten young with the pods still nearly flat. It’s best to provide some string, fence or trellis support to keep vines off the ground and conserve garden space. When possible, plant rows in a north-south direction for best sun exposure and good air circulation. Sow for fall crop in late July.

Reviewed day 94
I would say the plant produce ok, I might have not planted enough seeds. I planted 20 and about 16 produced. Once in full production, I got about a handful a day from the plants. Taste was ok, snow

I am getting about a handful of peas every other day. Eating them raw for the most part. Not thrilled with flavor or production.
