Why Choose Oregon Giant Snow Pea?

• Large, Crisp Pods: Impressively large snow pea pods with a satisfying crunch — among the biggest snow peas available for home gardeners.
• Cold-Hardy: Exceptional cold tolerance makes it perfect for early spring planting and fall crops in challenging climates.
• Sweet & Tender: Rich, sweet flavor with delicate peas inside — outstanding for both fresh eating and cooking.
• Dual Use: Eat pods whole as snow peas or allow peas to fill for a shelling pea — versatile across the kitchen.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations — save seeds year after year for a self-sustaining garden.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade — at least 6 hours per day. Peas prefer cool conditions and will struggle in intense summer heat.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Peas fix their own nitrogen — avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen.
• Planting: Direct sow outdoors 4–6 weeks before last frost when soil temps reach 45–65°F. Also sow in late summer for a fall crop.
• Spacing: Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep, 1–2 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart.
• Support: Provide a trellis or netting — Oregon Giant vines grow tall and need support for best production.
• Watering: Water regularly; avoid waterlogging and overhead watering during flowering to prevent fungal issues.
• Fertilizing: A light balanced fertilizer at planting is sufficient. Peas fix atmospheric nitrogen naturally.
• Harvesting: Ready in 60–70 days. Harvest snow pea pods when flat and pods are fully developed but peas inside are still small. Pick frequently to encourage continued production.
