Know before you buy
While the 26-inch vines are compact enough for ground cultivation, providing short stakes or a small trellis can help keep the pods off the soil and make harvesting easier.
You can expect to harvest your first pods approximately 62 days after planting.
These are specifically bred to be stringless, meaning you can enjoy them fresh, steamed, or stir-fried without the need for tedious stringing.
Plant your seeds 1.25 to 1.5 inches deep once the soil temperature reaches between 50°F and 55°F. Ensure the site receives full sun for the best results.
Space your seeds 1 to 3 inches apart within the row, and keep rows 2 to 3 feet apart to ensure adequate airflow and room for the vines to develop.
This means the hybrid variety has been bred to better withstand common pea diseases compared to non-resistant varieties, helping to protect your harvest throughout the growing season.
