Notes
'Super Sugar Snap' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Super Sugar Snap') is an annual for containers and food gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is grown for fresh eating as an edible pod pea. It matures in 61 days, and it can climb to nearly six feet, so give it a trellis.
Pairs well with Zucchini, Siberian garlic, and Taiyo sunflower.
