Pea Sugar Snap
Pisum sativum 'Johnnys Superior Strain'
Johnny's Superior Strain Sugar Snap Peas is a vigorous grower that produces sweet, crisp pods. This variety yields well in cool and warm temperatures.
For sugar snap peas, harvest when the pods are plump, bright green and snap easily off of the vine.
Peas are a cool-season crop and grow their best before and after the heat of the summer. Plant them in full to part sun with moist (not soggy), loose, well-drained soil. Provide support (trellis, fence, stakes, etc.) to keep pods off the ground. If you have heavy clay soil, consider adding organic matter to help improve drainage.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available March through June, depending on suppliers availability.
