Sugar Ann Snap Pea is an early-maturing, compact pea variety known for its exceptionally sweet, tender pods that can be eaten whole. These non-GMO heirloom seeds produce bushy, self-supporting plants perfect for small spaces — ideal for container gardening, raised beds, patios, and vertical trellises. Sugar Ann peas are delicious both fresh off the vine and cooked, and their early maturity of 56–60 days makes them perfect for extending your growing season or fitting multiple plantings into a single year.

Why Choose Sugar Ann Snap Pea?

• Compact & Space-Saving: Bushy, self-supporting plants thrive in containers, raised beds, and small garden plots.
• Exceptionally Sweet: Rich, sweet flavor with crisp, tender pods — outstanding fresh off the vine.
• Fast Maturity: Ready in 56–60 days — one of the earliest snap peas available for quick spring and fall harvests.
• Eat Pod & All: Tender, stringless pods are entirely edible — no shelling required.
• 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.
• 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 inches apart.
• Support: Plants are semi-dwarf and largely self-supporting, but a short trellis or pea fence will maximize yields.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; avoid 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 56–60 days. Harvest when pods are plump and filled but still bright green. Pick frequently to encourage continued production.
