Description
A charming pea with elegant dark purple pods and violet flowers.

Harvest them early as sweet peas and eat the whole pod.

If the variety is harvested later, the peas should be sprayed like marrow peas.

This means picking the peas out of the pod itself.

So the variety has two uses, enjoy freshly harvested sugar snap peas at the beginning of the season and the spritzed peas in late summer. This is Anna Kubel's favorite pea, a must at her house.

There it is allowed to climb wild on a trellis and adorn all summer salads and wok dishes.

Care and cultivation advice

Sow on site as soon as the soil is workable. The variety thrives best in rich, well-drained soil. Soak the seeds a few hours before sowing to speed up the germination process. Make sure to water the soil well before sowing and keep the seed moist throughout the germination period.

The variety needs a plant support to be able to climb and bush up.

(Feel free to change the location of the peas every year as sugar snap peas fertilize and improve the soil by adding nitrogen-fixing bacteria via their roots.
