Parsley Peas are unique because they produce tender and delicious, multi-branched, leafy edible tendrils that resemble parsley yet taste like sweet peas. With a semi-trailing growth habit, these plants can reach heights of 2 to 3 ft. and also yield pea pods similar to snap peas. They are excellent for container gardening, allowing you to enjoy fresh greens in limited spaces.
Size: Plants grow to a height of 2 to 3 ft. with a branching habit.
Yield: Harvest whole plants at 8 to 12 in. tall, or snip the tendrils for continued growth and additional pods.
Taste: Sweet, tender tendrils and crisp pea pods with a mild, fresh flavour.
How to use: Add the tender tendrils to salads, sandwiches, or stir-fries for a delightful crunch.
Planting tips: Best grown in well-drained soil with plenty of moisture. Ideal temperatures range from 10°C to 21°C for optimum growth.
Harvest tips: Snip off tendrils as needed for freshness, and allow the plants to mature for pod production.
