Purple pods against a green wall – a pea that also decorates the garden. Blauwschokkers is an old, traditional variety of climbing pea from northern Europe. The plants are vigorous, growing to 1.5–2 m, and need sturdy support. The dark purple pods contrast beautifully with the green leaves and flowers, while inside they hold round, tasty peas to eat fresh or dried.
Purple-podded peas are a rarity in Polish gardens. Blauwschokkers combines practical and ornamental qualities – when in fruit, the plant covered in purple pods looks like a decorative climber and can serve as a green wall along a fence.
This variety is cold-tolerant and thrives in a mild, humid climate, making it an excellent choice for Poland. It produces abundant crops, with harvesting spread over several weeks. The pods stand out clearly against the leaves, making them easy to find when picking.
Sowing (late March – May): Sow the seeds directly outdoors in rows about 50 cm apart, spacing them 2–3 cm apart in the row and sowing them about 2 cm deep. Peas are not sensitive to cold – they germinate at around 10°C, with seedlings appearing after 8–15 days. They can also be sown in clusters.
Thinning and support: Thin the plants if needed. When they reach about 15 cm tall, lightly earth them up and put in support right away – branching twigs, netting or a trellis at least 1.8–2 m tall.
Care: Peas prefer loose, fresh, deep soil. Loosen the soil and water regularly, especially during the first few weeks. Later, water regularly without wetting the leaves to reduce the risk of powdery mildew. Mulch helps retain moisture.
Protection: Protect the sowing from birds at the start of the season, and young plants from slugs. Peas grow well alongside carrots, radishes, beets and turnips; avoid planting them near garlic, onions and shallots.
Shell young, still tender peas and eat them fresh – raw, cooked as a side dish, or in salads. Pods left to fully ripen and dry on the plant yield dried peas for long-term storage, ideal for hearty soups and one-pot meals.
Soaking the seeds for a few hours before sowing speeds up germination. It’s a good idea to cover the rows with horticultural fleece or netting immediately after sowing – birds are keen to eat pea seeds.
