What fun to grow snow peas right on the deck or balcony! Little SnowPea Purple is a magnificently beautiful plant as well as a delicious veggie, and you will be hard pressed to decide which you love more: the two-tone purple blooms or the crunchy-sweet pods!
This compact vining plant reaches just 16 to 20 inches high in containers, climbing a trellis, stringed pole, or other support. The flowers are breathtaking, with purple-veined lavender on some petals and midnight violet on others, for a stunning two-tone effect. They arise very freely, and keep coming even after the first pods have set, so you get flowers and fruit all together!
In the garden, Little SnowPea Purple may reach 2 feet high, but wherever you grow this pea, it delivers big yields of crunchy, crisp, flattish green pods. Eat the whole pod — the flavor is amazing!
Easy to grow, snow peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Direct-sow 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1½ inches deep. Peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer. To conserve space and simplify harvesting, sow in double rows with a trellis between rows. Pkt is 2 ounces (at least 200 seeds), which sows 10 to 12 feet of row.
