(Pisum sativum). An innovative hypertendril snap pea bred by Dr. Alan Kapuler.  Hypertendril plants make enlarged tendrils in place of some leaves. The tendrils make for a more open habit, allowing better air flow and reducing diseases.  They are also great to eat!  Wonderful in salads or as a garnish, and they taste just like peas! Sturdy 5- to 8-foot plants are very productive and yield deliciously sweet snap peas for weeks. Vigorous vines produce bicolor flowers.

Growing Tips

This variety is highly productive, with vigorous vines that can grow up to 8 feet tall. It is perfect for gardeners looking for both ornamental beauty and a bountiful harvest. It requires 6-12 hours of sun daily. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 45-80 F.

When to Grow

Plant Magnolia Blossom Tendril peas in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, 4-6 weeks ahead of the last frost date, or in late summer for a fall harvest. They thrive in cooler weather and are suitable for USDA Zones 3-9. These peas can tolerate light frost, making them versatile for various growing conditions.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow the seeds directly into the garden, planting them 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. This variety requires a trellis or other support structures due to its climbing nature.

How to Grow

Magnolia Blossom Tendril peas need at least 6-12 hours of sunlight daily. Regular watering is crucial, especially during flowering and pod development, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest the pods when they are young and tender, typically 70 days after planting, to enjoy their sweet flavor and crisp texture.

How to Save

Peas will self pollinate. However, if you plan to save the seeds, it is best to isolate by 25-50 feet between varieties to dissuade wandering bees from cross pollinating flowers. Allow the pods to dry on the plants, then thresh and dry the seeds indoors for two weeks before sealing them in an airtight container. Properly stored, pea seeds remain viable for up to five years.
