🌸 Colorful Indian Pea, Blue Sweet Pea Seeds (Lathyrus sativus)

πŸ’° Price: Package of 6.5 g (approx. 30 seeds)

The Colorful Indian Pea, also known as Blue Sweet Pea or Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus), is a strikingly beautiful and resilient annual legume 🌿. Native to Asia and East Africa, this fascinating plant has been cultivated for centuries both as a hardy food crop and as an ornamental flower with soft blue blossoms πŸ’™.


🌱 Plant Description

Lathyrus sativus belongs to the Fabaceae family, the same group as beans and lentils. The plant grows 30–80 cm tall with delicate, thin stems and charming blue-to-pink flowers 🌸 that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies πŸπŸ¦‹. Its deep root system allows it to survive in dry, poor, or flooded soils, making it one of the most drought-tolerant legumes in the world.

Like other legumes, Blue Sweet Pea improves soil fertility by fixing nitrogen through its roots – a perfect companion for sustainable gardening 🌾. It thrives in temperatures between 10–25 Β°C and prefers full sun β˜€οΈ.


🌼 Cultivation Guide

  1. Sowing Time: Early spring or autumn 🌦️

  2. Soil: Any well-drained soil – from sandy to clayey

  3. Depth: Sow 2–3 cm deep

  4. Spacing: 15–20 cm apart

  5. Watering: Moderate – keep soil moist but never waterlogged πŸ’§

  6. Sunlight: Full sun exposure for best flowering 🌞

  7. Temperature: Germination ideal at 18–22 Β°C 🌑️

  8. Harvest: Pods mature in 90–120 days 🌿

The plant is low-maintenance and perfect for dry regions, poor soils, or climate-stressed gardens where other crops might fail.


🍽️ Uses & Cultural Significance

Throughout history, Lathyrus sativus has been used as both food and feed. In India, young leaves are cooked as chana saga, while in Portugal and Spain, ground seeds (known as almorta or chΓ­charo) are used in traditional dishes like gachas manchegas.

However, the seeds contain a naturally occurring amino acid (ODAP), which can be toxic if consumed excessively over long periods. For occasional or ornamental use, it’s completely safe 🌱.

In gardening, this species is admired for its beautiful flowers, toughness, and soil-enriching ability – a wonderful addition to permaculture and eco-friendly landscapes 🌍.

⚠️ Important Note

While Lathyrus sativus is safe in small quantities, do not use it as a main food source for extended periods. Excessive consumption may cause a rare condition called lathyrism due to the neurotoxin ODAP. For garden and decorative use, it poses no risk 🌿.
