From British breeding, this is the first commercially grown violet variety! The violet colour is rich in healthy anthocyanin (antioxidant) pigment. Attractive bicoloured flowers form stunning flat, violet Mangetouts to eat raw & stir fry. Can also be steamed although colour will fade, or boiled when colour turns dark green. As with all Mangetouts they are best harvested & eaten young just as the 'peas' start to show. Powdery mildew resistant & tolerant to downy mildew to help extend the sowing season to early July
