Mangetout Shiraz Seeds

Mangetout Shiraz adds a much welcomed splash of colour and intrigue to the standard pea plant growing process. British bred, this is the first commercially grown purple variety! The purple colour is rich in healthy anthocyanin (an antioxidant) pigment

Attractive bicoloured flowers form into stunning flat, purple Mangetouts, perfect for eating raw or in a stir fry. They can also be steamed although their impressive colour will fade, or boiled and they will turn Green. As with all Mangetouts they are best harvested and eaten young just as the 'peas' start to show

This plant is resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant to downy mildew to help extend the sowing season to early July
