Know before you buy
While these vines are compact at 28 inches, they are still climbing plants. Providing a short trellis, netting, or pea fencing will keep the pods off the ground, making them cleaner and easier to harvest.
No, Oregon Sugar Pod II is a cool-season crop. They perform best when planted in early spring or late summer, as high heat can cause the plants to stop producing and the pods to become tough.
Harvest the pods when they are flat, crisp, and about 4 inches long, before the peas inside have fully developed. Picking them frequently encourages the plant to continue producing more pods throughout the season.
Yes, this variety is highly recommended for beginners. They have simple care requirements, are naturally productive, and the seeds are open-pollinated and non-GMO.
Yes, because these are open-pollinated seeds, you can successfully save them. Simply allow a few pods to fully mature and dry on the vine before collecting the seeds for the following season.
For the best results, plant your seeds when the soil temperature is between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Planting in this range ensures steady germination, which typically takes 6 to 10 days.
