Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Sugar Magnolia Tendril pea thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers cooler weather, making it ideal for early spring or fall planting. Full sun to partial shade is recommended with 6-12 hours of sunlight daily.
When to Grow
Plant Sugar Magnolia Tendril peas in early spring, 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. These peas prefer cooler weather and can tolerate light frost, making them suitable for USDA Zones 3-9​.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. The plants can grow up to 6-8 feet tall, so providing a sturdy trellis or support is essential​.
How to Grow
Sugar Magnolia peas need 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 peas are typically ready for harvest about 50 days after planting, when the pods are plump and tender​.
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.
FAQ
How do I ensure proper support for Sugar Magnolia Tendril peas?
These peas can grow up to 8 feet tall, so installing a sturdy trellis or support structure when you plant them is crucial. This will help the plants climb and prevent them from sprawling.
What are common pests and diseases for Sugar Magnolia Tendril peas?
Common pests include aphids and pea weevils. Diseases such as powdery mildew and root rot can also occur. Regular monitoring, good air circulation, and organic pest control methods are recommended to manage these issues.
How should I harvest and store Sugar Magnolia Tendril peas?
Harvest the pods when they are 3-4 inches long and tender, before they fully mature. They can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week or blanched and frozen for longer storage​.
