Sourced from Bakers Creek in the US, apparently the first ever purple podded sugar snap pea. Bred by Alan Kapuler. Very tall growing more than 2m so needs high trellesing. The plants are very tendrilly and pretty, ornamental in their own right. They produce pods over a long period. The smaller pods are best for eating raw whilst the older ones are great cooked al dente. They keep their colour with cooking unlike purple french beans. I trialed 4 sugar snap peas in 2024.
