Rob says - “These peas could be mistaken for an ornamental if you grow them in your borders - the beautiful purple flowers can rival any sweet pea. But the real beauty of Blaushokker is the seed pods - they are dark purple in colour, so you’ll never miss a pod again! Can be eaten young as mangetout, or leave them to mature. An amazing floral and edible variety, well worth growing.”
