Description: Sweet and juicy, crisp and prolific, easy to grow and a joy to eat! Sugar snaps are the timeless classic, the perennial favourite and we agree, homegrown goodness just doesn’t get any better than this.
Organic Sugar Snap Pea is a full-size, 5-foot variety and here’s how to enjoy snap peas for 6 weeks straight: sow both compact and full-size peas on the same date, in early spring, once the snow melts. The compact varieties flower and fruit many weeks before the full-size varieties do, their production waning just as the full-size peas come on. It’s a simple strategy, brilliant and delicious!

Notes: There are three types of peas - shell, snow and snap. Shell peas, like the name suggests, are shelled prior to eating. Snow peas have tender, sweet pods which are harvested when the peas are still small. Snap peas have succulent pods and are harvested and eaten whole once the peas have become plump.
Note: Peas require a trellis or netting.
Suitability for indoors: Dwarf varieties may be grown in the windowsill in spring.
