Sugar Magnolia Purple Snap Pea Seeds | Disease Resistant Heirloom

The Sugar Magnolia was developed for gardeners who demand both productivity and beauty in their vegetable patches.

• A "Stand-Out" Variety: The brilliant violet-purple pods are an incredible asset in the garden; they are so easy to spot against the green foliage that harvesting becomes a breeze.
• Built for Resilience: This variety is a true workhorse, bred with natural resistance to pea leaf roll and powdery mildew. These traits allow it to stay healthy and productive long after other pea varieties might succumb to disease.
• Heat-Tolerant Vigor: Unlike many peas that finish the moment temperatures rise, the Sugar Magnolia has excellent heat tolerance, ensuring a longer, more bountiful harvest window throughout the season.

Sugar Magnolia is a plant of dramatic contrasts, providing vertical interest and a pop of dark color to your garden.

• The Blooms: Before the pods arrive, the vines are decorated with showy, bicolored purple-pink blossoms that are as beautiful as any ornamental flower.
• The Pods: The 3- to 4-inch pods are a striking violet-purple and are remarkably crunchy and sweet.
• The Habit: A vigorous, vining grower reaching 6 to 7 feet tall. These peas love to climb, making them an ideal choice for trellises, fences, or garden netting.

"Sugar Magnolia is the total package. We love it because the purple pods look like jewels hanging on the vine, and they taste even better than they look—super crunchy and incredibly sweet. Plus, because they are resistant to mildew, they stay looking fresh and green all the way to the end of the harvest. It’s the perfect, high-yield plant for any kitchen gardener."

• Vertical Support: These vigorous vines will easily climb 6–7 feet. Be sure to provide them with tall netting or a sturdy trellis to keep the pods clean and easy to pick.
• Harvesting for Flavor: For the ultimate "melt-in-your-mouth" sweetness, harvest when the pods are plump and well-filled, but pick them before the individual peas inside get too large or "fat."
• Cooking: Enjoy them raw, straight from the vine, or sauté them briefly in a hot pan. A quick sauté helps lock in that gorgeous purple color and highlights their delicate sweetness.
