Small Pod

Small pods only 1-2" long when ready for harvest. Just as tasty and tender as longer pea pod varieties. Good for pea shoots or pea pods rather than fresh shelled peas. Small, dark pink to purple flowers. Sets pea pods quickly after flowering. 18-24" tall plants. Needs light trellising. Continues to produce for a long time. Grown by Linda Andersen for the 2023 Collection Documentation Project; she noted that it "Holds up well in heat if kept watered." SSE Accession # 114852
