Magnolia Blossom Sugar Snap Pea
This is a very pretty sugar snap pea bred by Dr. Alan Kapular.
The vines grow to about 8 feet and produce light green pods with a purple stripe down the side.
The flowers are a lovely two-tone purple making it a perfect plant for ornamental kitchen gardens.
In my zone 5 garden, I plant in early April and then in mid-summer for a 2nd fall crop.
