Botanical Interests Sugar Magnolia Purple Snap Pea Seeds

Wow, a purple snap pea, tender and delicious! 'Sugar Magnolia' isn't just a famous Grateful Dead song, it is also a beautiful, fine-flavored, edible-pod pea with purple flowers. Long hypertendrils (vigorous, multi-branching tendrils) act as extra sturdy supports for 6'-7' vining plants, creating an airy structure that helps prevent mildew. Some of these open-pollinated peas may be speckled with green, or be fully green.

Sowing Information:

  • When to Start Inside: Not recommended.
  • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when the soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°–80°F, and again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date.
  • Seed Depth: 1 inch
  • Seed Spacing: 2 inches
  • Row Spacing: 4-6 feet apart
  • Thinning: Not required.

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Snap peas should be harvested when peas are plump; pick regularly to increase yield. Use scissors to harvest or hold vine with one hand and pick the pods with the other; vines are fragile.
  • Variety Information: 3"–4" purple pods. 'Sugar Magnolia' is a cross between 'Parsley Bush' pea and 'Purple Podded' vining pea.
  • Type: Snap Pea
  • Attributes: Long Vines



"Best garden center in Northern Colorado."

"They have so much fun stuff to look at even if you're not buying plants! They also have a cool deal where, if you buy the container and the plant, they'll plant it for you. There's clothes, kitchen stuff, kids stuff, books, nick snacks, etc. My mom and I go in just to hang out and look at stuff sometimes, but last time, I got this plant. It went from beautiful to MAMMOTH and beautiful. We named her Victoria."

"I was in there today may 17th 2025 and two very lovely employees helped me out! One was a guy (cashier) other was a young woman in a hat. The guy asked if I would like the plant repotted and informed me that I needed a bigger pot for the plant to grow in. The girl walked me back to the pots and helped me pick the right size! They were very friendly and helpful they made my visit there amazing! I hope you know who I am talking about so you can give them recognition!"
