Unusual vegetable with red flowers, also used as an ornamental. The small pods taste like asparagus and pea when picked young.

An easy to grow, unusual vegetable with a unique flavour. The taste, as the name suggests, is between  asparagus and pea. It goes well with any dish. Steam whole pods for just a few minutes, and serve with butter.
Can be used as ground cover in any flower border, as the tiny red flowers are very attractive.

Sow seeds in early spring, in fine compost, in a tray or in small pots, or outside later in the spring, 10 cm apart, leaving about 30 cm between rows.

Harden off and plant out about 30-35 cm apart after the last frosty night.

Pick the pods when about 3 cm long, to encourage production and to make sure they are stringless. The dark red pea flowers make a very nice feature in a flower garden!
