About Purple Podded

This heirloom pea variety produces fragrant purple-pink flowers, followed by clusters of vibrant deep-purple pods filled with sweet green peas. Growing on strong, vigorous climbing vines, it matures in 55-60 days, preferring cool weather and well-drained, well-watered, limy soil. Highly productive, these peas are excellent for shelling, cooking, and drying, with young, tender pods also suitable for fresh eating as a snap or snow pea, or for making soup.
