Growing Tips
For optimal growth, plant Green Beauty snow peas in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. They thrive in cool weather and are best sown in early spring or fall when temperatures are moderate, ideally 45-80 F.
When to Grow
Green Beauty snow peas should be planted in very early spring, 4-6 weeks ahead of the last frost date. These peas are hardy and can tolerate light frost, making them suitable for USDA Zones 3-11. For fall harvest, sow the seeds in late summer, about 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost. This timing helps the plants establish themselves before colder weather sets in.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Green Beauty snow pea seeds directly into the garden, planting them 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced about 12-18 inches apart. The seeds should be planted in well-drained soil that receives full sun or partial shade. These peas are climbers and need support, so install trellises, stakes, or netting at the time of planting. After sowing, water the soil thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry spells​.
How to Grow
Make sure that the plants receive 6-12 hours of sunlight daily. Water regularly, particularly during flowering and pod development stages. Mulching around the plants helps conserve soil moisture and control weeds. Harvest the pods when they are young and tender to encourage continuous production. Regular harvesting results in more abundant crops and prolongs the harvesting period​.
How to Save
Peas will self pollinate. However, to ensure purity, it is best to isolate by 25-50 feet between varieties to dissuade wandering bees from cross pollinating flowers if you wish to save the seeds. Allow the pods to dry on the plants, then thresh and dry the seeds indoors for two weeks before sealing them in an airtight container. Properly stored, pea seeds remain viable for up to five years.
FAQ
Can Green Beauty snow peas tolerate frost?
Yes, they can tolerate light frost, making them suitable for early spring and fall plantings​.
Do Green Beauty snow peas need a trellis?
Yes, these peas require support such as a trellis or stakes for optimal growth and productivity. The vines can grow up to 8 feet tall and benefit greatly from vertical support​.
How should I grow Green Beauty snow peas?
The ideal temperature is between 45 F and 80 F. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH. 6-12 hours of sunlight are essential for optimal growth, and consistent moisture is necessary to prevent stress and ensure healthy pod development​​.
