Royal Snow Purple Podded Snow Pea

Royal Snow Purple Podded Snow Pea Heirloom Vegetable Seeds

This is a unique purple almost black podded snow pea variety.  I love these purple podded snow peas because their color make them easy to spot on the plant for harvest. Pods are not super sweet like the green varieties but still good in flavor. I like to eat them raw so as to not lose the purple color during the cooking process. If gently steamed, they retain their purple color. More cooking causes them to lose their vibrant purple color. They look gorgeous sprinkled over a garden salad or added to crudité platters.  This is a great choice for small gardens as the vines are compact, staying around 2-3 feet tall. Harvest young while the pods are still flat, before the peas swell inside.  The more you harvest, the more it will encourage the plant to produce.

PLANTING

Pisum sativum

Germination: 4-10 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1” deep

Sowing: Direct sowing after the last frost date is preferred. It can get tricky trying to grow in warmer climates like zones 8 and higher. Snow peas absolutely do not like heat. Too much heat will stunt their growth and crisp the leaves. My garden is in zone 9B and I squeeze in a quick harvest by direct sowing in November and growing straight thru winter and into early spring.

Harvest: Before the seeds swell inside the pod
