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.
