Pea Snap Sugar Daddy

‘Sugar Daddy’ peas were bred by Dr. Calvin Lamborn who developed the first edible-podded snap pea. ‘Sugar Snap’. However, ‘Sugar Daddy’ has big improvements - stringless pods, shorter vines, and improved disease resistance. The short plants reach only 24”-30” tall and don’t need support, but a short fence or trellis will make it easier to find and harvest the crunchy peas. Serve fresh or add to stir-fries and soups, or steam for a delicious vegetable. Resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant to bean leaf roll virus. This packet sows up to 11 feet.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.

4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°-80°F, and again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date.

In mild climates, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest. Best grown in temperatures less than 85°F.
