Dwarf Grey Sugar Snow Pea

A very old heirloom snow pea variety is prized for its plump, tender edible pods, and purple flowers. Attractive purple blossoms produce 3" sweet slender pods. A dwarf variety that stays manageable at 3 feet tall and thrives in cool, wet climates. Shoots are used as garnishes and in salad mixes. Preferred for both taste and tenderness. Small snow pea pods average. 2½" long. The 30" vines may be grown with or without support. Harvest when young, and continue picking to promote further fruiting. Can be harvested early as a snow pea or allowed to grow and used as a snap pea. Enjoy them, raw straight from the garden, stir fry, or, steamed. 66 days to harvest.

Plant your Pea Seeds outside 4-6 weeks before the average last frost for your area. Make sure that the soil is warmer than 45 degrees. Plant your pea seeds about 1 inch deep in full sun. Allow 6 inches between each pea seed. Keep an eye on your seeds for a few days - poke them back in if they wash out of the soil. Grab the vine with one hand and pick the peas off with the other hand to avoid damaging the vines. Harvest when the peas are tender, and the pods are developed. The more peas you pick, the more peas the plant will produce!
