Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
The Blue-podded Capucijner (cap-ou-SIGH-nah) is a hardy pea first grown by the Franciscan Capuchin monks. Beautiful, bi-colour lilac/pink and wine-red/purple blooms, fading to blue as they wilt. Pods are deep inky purple/blue. Best used to make delicious, full-bodied soups. An edible-podded sugar pea by harvesting before peas have developed.Great long term storage food.
Beautiful heirloom pea that is pretty enough to grow as an ornamental for the edible gardening fans, even if you don't like peas. The dark coloured pods really stand out against the background of the bright green leaves making them very easy to pick. It is a good choice for children and the elderly.
Approximately 30 seeds per packet. (read more below)
