Pisum sativum

Award-winning Super Sugar Snap "eat the whole thing" peas are sweet as sugar with juicy pods. This improved variety offers gardeners larger, more succulent pods with more peas, higher yields earlier in the season, sweeter flavor and reliable disease resistance. Enjoy these garden treats fresh off the vine, in salads or briefly stir-fried for delicious and nutritious quick meals.

Gardener's Notes: Sow directly outdoors in early spring as soon as soil can be worked directly into fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds 2 to 3 inches apart in wide rows. Provide netting or trellis supports at planting time for these heavy bearing 5 foot tall vines. Keep well weeded and watered and mulch to conserve moisture. If weather is cold and wet and first sowing doesn't germinate evenly, re-sow and seedlings will catch up quickly. Harvest for best sweet flavor when the 3 inch juicy pods are plump and well filled out with peas. In mild winter climates, plant again in early fall for another crop.
