Désirée Pea Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a striking heirloom variety from the Netherlands, prized for its early maturity, beautiful pink blooms, and abundant purple pods. These vigorous yet compact plants are perfectly suited to small gardens, raised beds, or containers, making them a great choice for maximizing harvests in limited spaces. A true cool-weather favorite, Désirée peas can be planted in both spring and fall for sweet, tender shelling peas throughout the season.
High-Yielding, Compact, and Resilient:
Désirée peas form sturdy, space-efficient plants that produce generous clusters of bluish-purple pods, each holding 7–8 sweet peas. Their robust nature allows them to handle cool conditions and periods of drought better than many other pea varieties. This makes them a reliable option for beginner gardeners and those working with unpredictable weather.
Sweet Flavor and Everyday Kitchen Versatility:
Known for their smooth, tender texture and naturally sweet taste, Désirée peas are excellent for fresh eating straight from the pod. They also freeze and can well, maintaining their quality for year-round use. From crisp salads and vegetable medleys to hearty soups and stir-fries, these peas bring vibrant color and great flavor to a wide range of dishes.
Why Customers Love Désirée Peas:
- Early-maturing heirloom variety with striking pink blossoms
- Compact, high-yield plants ideal for small spaces and containers
- Bluish-purple pods holding 7–8 sweet, tender peas each
- Thrives in cool weather; suitable for spring or fall planting
- Great for fresh eating, freezing, and canning
How to Grow:
Plant seeds outdoors in early spring or fall when soil is workable and temperatures are cool. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Provide light support such as a short trellis or stake for the vigorous vines. Water consistently during flowering and pod development. Harvest pods when they are plump and brightly colored for the best flavor.
