This spectacularly beautiful purple snap pea is the result of over 15 years of work by Dr. Alan Kapuler in Corvallis, Oregon. Good sweet flavor (but still best to eat before the pods get too fat). An excellent addition to salads and for steaming, the immature peas are also nice and sweet. Sturdy 6-7’ tall vines. Unique hyper-tendrils grab securely fasten this variety to any trellis. This variety still occasionally has some green-podded plants, so if you want to save your own seed, choose fully purple pods.
