Quick Overview

Asparagus Pea.

Product Description

Asparagus Pea is a lovely looking plant which will be buzzing with insects all the way through the summer. Hoverflies and worker bees seem to particularly love it and the small, winged pods are good to eat.

It's beautiful too, with rich crimson pea-like flowers and dug into the soil, will improve its structure and fertility.

This unique vegetable has a flavour very similar to asparagus - steam it gently and serve with melted butter.

  • Height: 30cm/10in
  • Hardy annual
  • EASY

Sowing: Asparagus peas do not like root disturbance so direct sow in April - June.
Final Planting Distance: 30cm. Prefers a sunny, well-drained site.
Harvesting: Flowers from early summer on for 3-4 months. After the flowers come winged pods which are tasty when eaten small - about 3cm long.
