The garden pea has a few advantages for his experiments. It has a short generation time thus he can study many pea plants at once. Also their phenotypes are very distinct - which is a bonus since the whole experiment is to observe distinctive phenotypes - would be too vague and confusing if the traits are too close alike. The phenotypes that are distinctive are by color, the growth, round/wrinkled peas etc.

Mendel's experiment basically fathered genetics. He knew nothing about alleles and DNA and what not yet he was still able to show how traits are inherited. He obviously proved that traits come from alleles - that traits don't just mix and are forever lost because some traits can be recovered (Homozygous x homozygous will always give homozygous. However Heterozygous Tt x Tt can recover the recessive trait, tt).
