Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
The Blue-podded Capucijner (cap-ou-SIGH-nah) is a hardy pea first grown by the Franciscan Capuchin monks. Its particularly beautiful, bi-colored flowers are lilac/pink and wine-red/purple, fading to blue as they wilt; pods are deep inky purple/blue. It is best used to make delicious, full-bodied soups; also an edible-podded sugar pea.  Great long term storage food. Soaring, vining plants are smothered in the most striking dark purple pea pods. A rich eggplant color, these shelling peas are as delicious as they are beautiful; pick early for best flavor. The vining stems make a wonderful and unexpected addition to summer flower arrangements and are a real conversation starter. A must grow heirloom. 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 colored 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)

Pisum sativum (66 days) Open-pollinated. The Sumo cum laude of snow peas! Sumo is the best purple-flowered snow pea we’ve ever had. Its light lime-green pods are larger and fatter than Mammoth Melting Sugar’s and really sweet right off the vine as well as in stir-fries.
This amazing snow pea came to me via a Seeds of Diversity Grow out.They need to have seeds grown and returned to them to bulk up their seed bank and I get to keep a few and have now grown them out again to be able to offer some to you.
