For use in floral design, harvest stems when pods are brightly colored, taking care when handling delicate vines. Expect a vase life of 5 to 7 days. (Please note that unlike these edible garden peas sweet peas.

This cutting garden classic is easy to grow, pollinator-friendly, and a great choice for beginners. Plants will flower over a long period of time if regularly harvested. Add the bright, colorful petals to salads or egg dishes as a delightful garnish. And bicolors for romantic bouquets and wedding work.

All these varieties are easy to grow from seed. Many love the heat and produce abundantly from summer through the first fall frost. Because our farm is situated in an area with relatively cool summers, I grow most of my edibles in a hoophouse for an added level of heat.
