These lusciously tender snow peas become sweeter and more succulent as they swell often over five inches long. Oregon Sugar Pod II Snow Pea is also relatively compact, growing three feet tall (though sometimes more in rich soil) so your trellis can be minimal compared to the massive wall of full-size peas. For container gardens, this is your snow pea! Her strong disease resistance makes Oregon Sugar Pod an excellent choice for late summer sowings for those extra-sweet fall harvests, as well.
Planting Method: Direct Sow Only
When to sow: As soon as soil may be worked; or late summer (early/mid-August) for fall harvest
Sowing and seedling care: Sow 1-1.5 inches apart and do not thin. Dwarf peas are ideal for 2 gallon containers & (optional) trellis is helpful. Fall plantings are best with dwarves (rather than full-size varieties).

Days to Germination: 9 at 75°F(24°C); 15 at 45°F (7°C)
Spacing after thinning: 1-1.5 inches

High quality seeds! In 2019 I bought Dwarf Snow Pea Oregon Sugar Pod II. They grew nicely and I had great harvest. It’s May, 2022 now, I found some leftover seeds in my fridge. I was skeptical about the germination rate as it’s been 3 years since I received the seeds, but I sow some seeds under the grow lights anyway. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the first sprout came out in just 4 days!

In 2019 I bought seeds of Snow Pea-Oregon Sugar Pod II. I had a great harvest that year and enjoyed good quality seeds from Fruition Seeds. Then 3 years later (May 2022) I found some leftover seeds in my fridge. I was not sure whether they would come out or not, but sowed them under the grow lights anyway. They germinated in just 4 days!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw some tiny sprouts emerged from the potting mix. What a high quality seeds!
