Sugar Snap Pea Seeds

Sugar Snap Pea Seeds grow heavy yields of stringless, 3-inch pods that keep their rich color and crunch even after cooking, and are just as flavorful raw on a vegetable tray or in salads. Easy to grow and dependably wilt and frost resistant, the 5 to 6 foot vines need a trellis and keep producing over a long season. If pods get overripe, simply shell the green peas.

How to grow

Sow 1/2 inch deep in spring or fall, spacing seeds 3 inches apart in a single trellised row in full sun. Provide a 5 to 6 foot trellis or support for the vines and keep the bed weed-free with adequate moisture. Pick regularly to keep the long-producing vines setting new pods.
