Notes

'Golden Sweet Snow Pea' (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Golden Sweet Snow Pea') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It climbs about 72 inches tall and only 12 inches wide, so a trellis suits it. Bees and butterflies visit it.

Pairs well with Lettuce, Cherry Belle radish, and Broccoli.
