Listing is for 10 Seeds. Swedish Red Pea, often sold under the name Biskopens, is a tall climbing dry pea with richly colored seeds that mature to deep red tones. The vines can reach impressive height on a trellis, producing clusters of pods that can be harvested at different stages depending on your goals.

Sow early in the cool season and provide sturdy support right away so tendrils can climb as the plant stretches upward. Peas prefer evenly moist soil during flowering and pod fill, and they perform best when heat stress is minimized. For dry peas, allow pods to mature fully on the vine until they dry down, then shell and cure the seeds before storage.

This type is often grown as much for its beautiful seed color as for its garden presence�tall vines, abundant foliage, and a trellis covered in pods. It�s a great choice for gardeners who enjoy crops that finish with a satisfying �final harvest� of dry seed. With timely sowing, consistent moisture, and a strong trellis, it can be a rewarding climber that stands out from more common pea types.
