Anyone recognise this pea?

Its growing in a row of Rondo from TM. Its much taller about 5ft with a smallish coloured flower.

Yes, now you mention it

It does look like the Carouby de Maussane but i would like it better if it had the purple pods.

The one I have doesn't look a very heavy cropper but it would look very nice i think in a big thick row

Is the seed from it worth saving or will it cross with the other peas?

Peas are self fertile and pollinate within quite enclosed flower.

They can cross pollinate, but the risk is small.
