(Pisum sativum). The Sugar Bon Snap pea is a delightful dwarf variety that matures early and produces sublimely sweet 3-inch pods borne on 1-2 foot tall plants.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Sugar Bon Snap pea is an excellent choice for small gardens and container growing due to its manageable size and high yield. This variety is also resistant to several common pea diseases. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers cool weather, making early spring or fall the best planting times. Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, 6-12 hours of sunlight daily.

When to Grow

Plant Sugar Bon Snap peas in early spring, about 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. These peas thrive in cooler weather, ideally 45-80 F, and can tolerate light frost. They are suitable for USDA Zones 3-11​​.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and space the plants 6 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Although Sugar Bon Snap peas are a dwarf variety, providing support with a small trellis or stakes can be beneficial​.

How to Grow

Provide 6-12 hours of sunlight daily. Regular watering is crucial, especially during flowering and pod development, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. The plants will mature in about 55 days, producing sweet, tender pods that are excellent both fresh and cooked.

How to Save

Peas will self pollinate. However, if you plan to save the seeds, it is best to isolate by 25-50 feet between varieties to dissuade wandering bees from cross pollinating flowers. 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.
