Asparagus pea is known as "four angled bean" from where I come from. It grows very easily when it's draped onto the fencing. We used to slice the asparagus pea & stir fry it with sambal prawn. Yummy!

I am delighted to hear that Asparagus pea is classified as a noxious weed, easy to grow plants are the best kind in my opinion. I haven't tried them before and hope they taste good. Has anyone here ever tasted them? If so, do you have any interesting recipes?

Seeds arrived from NZ with no trouble Mine also struggled to grow. Really felt it was too hot but it has been a scorcher. The few I did get to grow had the prettiest red flower but then they all died. Will try next year in a more sheltered spot.

I live in Perth - any ideas if there are suppliers of asparagus pea in WA? Quarantine regulations very tough here, so importing from NZ probably not an option.

Trish, you can get Asparagus Pea from Eden Seeds (Queensland). Maybe they don't know it's a noxious weed? It's not a very successful weed in Armidale - mine struggled to grow.

I contacted King Seeds NZ. got an email back to say the order would need to be approved by our quarantine authorities. Rang them today and Asparagus Pea seeds are not allowed to be imported into Australia. It is listed as a noxious weed. Sad for us :(

As posted earlier, eseeds cancelled the request for seeds today. Have managed to get them from King seeds in NZ. Their service was great, and although a bit involved I finally got the seeds.Barbara at King Seeds was wonderful and very determined to get me what I needed.
