Who says all peas are pea green? Created in a rainbow of hues, these peas playfully bend and curl, giving each pod a unique fingerprint. Harvested at peak maturity, these peas are crisp, firm and bright, bringing a special palette in both color and flavor.

This lot has been reduced in price.
With this being the only seed that we have available of the blend we are not able to offer a better germinating lot at this time. We have found that with a heavy planting this variety does perform well in the field. Not recommended for tray growing.
