Description

Umuthi Peas (Sugar Snap) Growing Seeds produce vigorous climbing vines with crisp, juicy pods that are eaten whole. Each pod gives you sweet peas and tender pod together, making this variety perfect for fresh snacking, lunchboxes, salads, stir-fries, light steaming, and hummus dippers. Sugar Snap peas grow best in cool weather, full sun, and rich, well-draining soil with steady moisture.

With a trellis or netting for support, they make excellent use of vertical garden space and offer a generous picking window. Why we love it: Sugar Snap peas are one of the easiest garden treats to enjoy straight from the vine. They are sweet, crunchy, kid-friendly, and brilliant for adding fresh green snap to everyday meals.
