“The dream has always been a rainbow of peas,” Dylana Kapuler said to me more than a decade ago, and that dream continues to fuel a passion for breeding colorful, edible-podded peas at the organically managed Oregon-based seed company called Peace Seedlings that she co-owns. Ready to think beyond your basic green pods and expand your palette of peas to purple and yellow and reddish shades, including ones with flowers in gorgeous shades that hummingbirds especially love, too?

Dylana Kapuler and Mario DiBenedetto founded Peace Seedlings in 2009, after helping Dylana’s parents, Alan and Linda Kapuler, with their longtime seed-breeding project called Peace Seeds. Dylana and Mario have built on the impressive legacy of Alan Kapuler’s decades of organic seed breeding, and I’m so glad to speak with them from Corvallis, Oregon, to talk about their continuing work with colorful peas in particular.pea
