This organic Dutch heirloom is a multi-purpose pea. Purple Mist's young pods can be enjoyed as snow peas, or the pods can be left to develop their unusual purple colour for mid-season shelling peas. Once the peas have fully matured inside the pod, they can be shelled and dried and used as soup peas all winter long. The 1.5-2m (5-6') tall vines should be trellised and can be enjoyed as a striking ornamental, too. Purple Mist organic pea seeds are not enation resistant.

| Starting |
Soaking seeds is not advised for damp soils. Sow seed 2cm (1″) deep. After April 15th, sow seed 5cm (2″) deep. Space seeds 2-7cm (1-3″) apart in the row. Do not thin. If the seeds fail to sprout, try to dig some up and check for rot or insect damage. The challenge with untreated pea seeds is to give them an early start but to avoid rot. |
| Growing |
Use well-drained soil amended with finished compost. Add 2 cups of rock phosphate or bonemeal for 3m (10′) of row. Plant most varieties along a trellis or fence for support as they climb. Dwarf varieties do not need a trellis, but may benefit from the support of some twigs poked into the soil in the row. |
