CHUXAY GARDEN 100 Seeds Magnolia Sugar Snap Pea, Deep Purple Colored Sugar Snap Pea

The vibrant and edible Sugar Magnolia snap peas have transformed the world of sugar snap peas. Firstly, this variety captivates with its striking colors; the pretty pink bi-colored flowers develop into vibrant pods, and the showy hyper tendrils (where the vines have leaves replaced by more tendrils) make for easy climbing while also being edible when young. Secondly, the harvest yields were plentiful, with a 4-foot planting providing an abundant supply that continued well into the mid-July heat, outlasting the earlier, shorter day varieties. This makes Sugar Magnolia an excellent choice for a succession crop, as it can grow up to 6-7 feet tall.

The Sugar Magnolia plant's abundant tendrils are a culinary delight - simply pick some when they are young and add them to your salad. Snap peas can be planted close together, with a spacing of just 2 inches between each seed. The Sugar Magnolia variety will reach up to 7 feet in height, and the purple pods maintain their vibrant color even when cooked. This variety matures in approximately 70 days, making it suitable for planting in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-11.

To grow Sugar Magnolia snap peas, use a finger to make small, one-inch deep indentations in the soil, and then place the seeds inside, covering them afterwards. The rows of peas should be spaced about 7 inches apart. Depending on the variety, you may need to provide a trellis or other support system for your plants. The optimal planting time is during the spring or fall seasons.

The purple pods of the Sugar Magnolia variety add an extra dash of flair to both the vegetable garden and crudité platters. If you do encounter weeds, be sure to remove them gently by hand, as peas have shallow and fragile roots that require careful attention. With their stunning appearance, bountiful yields, and extended growing season, these Sugar Magnolia snap peas have truly revolutionized the world of this beloved vegetable.
