Notes
'Green Beauty Snow Pea' (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Green Beauty Snow Pea') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It climbs 72 to 96 inches tall on a spread of just 12 inches, so give it a trellis. Bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Cherry Belle radish, Broccoli, and Potato.
