The Sugar Snap Pea Plant is a prolific producer that is easy to grow. The peas and pods from this heirloom variety are sweet and crunchy and can be eaten raw or cooked. Harvest peas throughout the growing season when the pods are tender and medium green in color. The peas inside the pod should just be starting to swell. This plant has a climbing growth habit and needs a trellis or support.
Sugar Snap Pea Plant Care
Plant Sugar Snap Peas in the spring. Space the plants 8 inches apart and provide a support or a trellis for the reaching vines to grow on. The soil should be neutral, rich, and well drained. This fast-growing plant needs full sun to thrive.
Growing Sugar Snap Pea Plant
Peas are ready to pick in 42 - 58 days. The plants will reach 4 to 6 feet tall and 8 to 10 inches wide. Sugar Snap Pea Plants are fast growing and will quickly latch onto a support and put on height.
Sugar Snap Pea Plants make wonderful container plants. Potted pea plants still need a trellis or support and may require more frequent watering. Use a pot that is 12 inches wide and has ample drainage.
Watering Sugar Snap Pea Plant
Water Sugar Snap Pea Plants to keep the soil moist. This plant performs best with consistent water; while it does not like to be soggy, it does like damp conditions.
Feeding Sugar Snap Pea Plant
Feeding the plants ensures healthy growth and an abundant harvest. Apply a layer of organic compost around the base of the plant and use a balanced formula for veggies or a 15-30-15 fertilizer every few weeks.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
