Description
Sugar Daddy peas were bred by Dr. Calvin Lamborn who developed the first edible-podded snap pea. Sugar Snap. However, Sugar Daddy has big improvements – stringless pods, shorter vines, and improved disease resistance. The short plants reach only 24-30 tall and dont need support, but a short fence or trellis will make it easier to find and harvest the crunchy peas. Serve fresh or add to stir-fries and soups, or steam for a delicious vegetable. Resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant to bean leaf roll virus. This packet sows up to 11 feet.
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.
4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40F, ideally 60-80F, and again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date.
In mild climates, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest. Best grown in temperatures less than 85F.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
