Wow, a purple snap pea, tender and delicious! 'Sugar Magnolia' isn't just a famous Grateful Dead song, it is also a beautiful, fine-flavored, edible-pod pea with purple flowers. Long hypertendrils (vigorous, multi-branching tendrils) act as extra sturdy supports for 6'-7' vining plants, creating an airy structure that helps prevent mildew. Some of these open-pollinated peas may be speckled with green, or be fully green.

    First time growing peas. Houston texas zone 9b. Direct seeded on Feb 1. First harvest about 60 days later. Crunchy and sweet. I recommend and will sow again.

    Unfortunately, spider mites decimated my first planting of these peas. I chose a different location and this is their growth in 10 days.
