Gregor Mendel chose pea plants because they produce many offspring, reproduce quickly, and can self-fertilize. This made them easy subjects to study.
Because pea-plants grow to maturity quickly and he knew he needed many generations of plants for his experiments. Also the color of the plant's flower and the plant's height were each determined by single alleles and he could therefore keep track of these characteristics without the possibility of other alleles affecting them. Also, he had a bunch of pea-plants lying around.
