Hudson Valley Seed Co.
Sugar Magnolia Snap Pea
Pisum sativum
Microgreens Suitable
Oregon farmer and free thinker Alan Kapuler, aka Mushroom, dedicated much of his life to growing, saving, and breeding new open-pollinated plants through his organization Peace Seeds. His varieties, like the twisting, outstretched hyper-tendrils of this purple sugar snap pea, have become intertwined with multiple generations of his family tree: his children are also seeds people. Combined with the delicious and abundant shoots and tendrils, which are also edible, these snappy purple pods are everything you need for a salad or sauté.
Note that there is still some variation in the pod color; the appearance of some green pods, along with the purple pods, should be expected.

Growing instructions
Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked until last frost date. Peas thrive in cool weather, so do not delay planting them. Trellis for best yields and healthiest plants. Frequent and steady harvests of the plump, deep purple pods will help plants to continue to produce.
