Pea ‘Spring Blush’
Pisum sativum
Description
These super-tall vines have vigorous, upright growth with very pronounced tendrils and 2-tone purple flowers. This snap pea has a green base and an airbrushed cranberry wash. This variety is my favorite and was the sweetest of all the peas in our Peace Seedlings snap and snow pea trial.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Peas are a cool-weather crop. Direct-seed in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
