Notes
'Oregon Sugar Pod II' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Oregon Sugar Pod II') is an annual grown for snow pea pods and tall vines you can train up a trellis. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Give the vines a support, since they can reach about 71 inches tall.
Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Bogatyr garlic, and Stock.
