The variety is a tall-growing plant, reaching a height of 1.5 to 2 meters, which requires the mandatory installation of trellises to support the stems. The vegetation period until technical maturity is about 65–75 days, which allows it to be classified as an early- or mid-ripening variety.
The plant is highly decorative due to the purple shade of the flowers and the dark violet color of the pods, while the seeds inside remain green. The variety is characterized as resistant to diseases and pests.
The fruits are universal in use: young pods have a succulent structure without a pronounced parchment layer and are suitable for consumption as snow peas. As they ripen, the peas are used fresh or dried for preparing dishes.
Historically, the variety is considered Dutch, traditionally grown in the Netherlands and Germany. It is often referred to the 'capucijner pea' group and classified as a variety of Pisum sativum var. arvense.
