Magnoila Blossom Snap Pea, Tall Peas

While most snap peas are grown solely for their pods, the Magnolia Blossom was selected for those who believe a vegetable garden should be as decorative as it is delicious.

• Architectural Beauty: The striking purple flowers are more than just a precursor to fruit; they are a dramatic garden feature. The vivid, two-toned blossoms contrast beautifully against the lush green foliage, turning a simple pea patch into a vertical floral display.
• The "Cut-and-Come-Again" Harvest: This variety is a champion producer. As long as you keep the succulent, plump pods picked—which are remarkably crunchy-sweet right off the vine—the vines will continue to push out new growth and fresh pods throughout a long, generous harvest season.

Magnolia Blossom is a "snacker's" delight, offering a crisp, clean taste that is the hallmark of a truly fresh pea.

• The Pods: These aren't your typical thin, stringy peas. They are well-filled, plump, and incredibly crunchy. They possess a high sugar content that makes them a favorite for fresh eating, stir-fries, or raw snacks.
• The Habit: A vigorous, vining grower. These peas easily twine up any vertical support—from cattle panels and garden netting to bamboo poles—making harvest quick and easy on the back.
• Seasonal Versatility: These are fantastic for a classic spring harvest, but their vigor also makes them a top choice for a second sowing in mid-to-late summer for a cool-weather fall harvest.

"Magnolia Blossom is the only pea we grow that makes people stop and ask, 'Is that a flower or a vegetable?' We love that the flowers are so vibrant, but the peas themselves are even better. They are incredibly plump and sweet—the kind of vegetable that rarely makes it inside to the kitchen because you end up eating the entire harvest right there in the garden!"

• Vertical Support: Because these vines reach up to 8 feet, ensure your trellis or supports are tall and sturdy. They are expert climbers and will take off once they find a grip.
• Succession Sowing: For a continuous harvest, sow your first batch in early spring. Wait until the heat of mid-summer has passed and sow a second batch in mid-to-late summer to enjoy a crisp, crunchy crop in the cool autumn air.
• Harvesting: Don't let the pods sit too long on the vine. Frequent picking is the "secret" to keeping this plant producing. If you pick the pods while they are still bright green and plump, the vine will keep setting more flowers and more peas for weeks.
