Notes
'Royal Snow' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Royal Snow') is an annual for containers. 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 reaches 12 to 71 inches tall, so give the vines a support to climb. Pink and purple flowers open from early to late summer. The peas are ready about 61 days after planting.
Pairs well with Bogatyr garlic, Disco Mix Marigold French marigold, and Sunny Smile sunflower.
