(Non-GMO, Heirloom)
Shop the highest quality Sugar Ann Pea seeds for the quickest snack your garden can provide. When it comes to speed and flavor, Sugar Ann is the "Sprinting Champion." This award-winning heirloom is famous for being the earliest-maturing snap pea, producing crunchy, stringless pods up to two weeks before other varieties. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it offers a "snack-ready" experienceβyou can eat the whole pod right off the vine without the hassle of strings or tough fibers.
In the garden, Sugar Ann is a space-saving powerhouse, featuring short 12-to-24-inch vines that don't require heavy support. This makes it a "must-have" for raised beds and patio containers. Despite its small size, it produces a massive volume of pods that are exceptionally sweet and crisp. It is a fantastic companion plant for strawberries and cucumbers, working to build soil health while staying out of the way of larger crops. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get early, heavy yields of gourmet snap peas that kids will eat faster than you can pick them.

Sugar Ann Pea Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sugar Ann is built for the cold! Plant outdoors 4-6 weeks before your last spring frost. Because it matures so fast, it is also perfect for a "second harvest" planted in late summer for a fall crop.
2. Preparation: Peas "fix" their own nitrogen, so avoid heavy nitrogen fertilizers which will give you lots of leaves but very few peas. Instead, ensure your soil is well-draining and has a bit of phosphorus to encourage bloom and pod development.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart. If you are planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix and ensure you have drainage holes at the bottom. A quick 12-hour soak before planting will help the seeds "wake up" faster.
4. Care: Although Sugar Ann is a dwarf variety, a small 2-foot trellis will keep your harvest clean and easy to see. Water consistently; snap peas need steady moisture to keep those pods succulent and crisp rather than dry and tough.
5. Pests and Diseases: This variety is naturally resistant to Pea Enation Mosaic Virus and Powdery Mildew. To keep them healthy, avoid overhead watering in the evening and harvest pods frequently to keep the plant in "production mode."
