Sugar Magnolia Snap Pea
Pisum sativum
Conventionally Grown
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.

About the artist
Sugar magnolia snap pea plants get very tall. They are the variety in back of the mammoth snow peas. I use 6 foot tall t-posts every year to grow these. As long as they are harvested frequently, they continue to produce snap peas for several weeks.
My favorite! Easy to grow in fall or spring in 6b. Vines get very tall, taller than green varieties. I love planting these because they taste great and are easier to find when picking!
I just planted these today. Can’t wait to try them.
Pretty & delicious
Growing beautifully - even in partial shade - with gorgeous dark purple pods. We're picking them and eating them raw right from the vine. So sweet and delicious!
