About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old Dutch caper or gray pea with striking violet‑blue pods and two‑tone rose‑purple flowers, a real eye‑catcher on the fence. The tall‑growing plants need a sturdy trellis. When young you can harvest the pods like sugar peas; when mature the kernels dry into soup peas.
When ripe and dried the kernels taste hearty‑mild and give stews depth. When harvested young the blue pods are tender and milder.
