Snap Pea Seeds for Cool-Season Gardening by YEGAOL

Sugar Magnolia Snap Pea, a relatively new variety of snap pea introduced in 2018, is a type of snap pea that produces vibrant, magenta-colored pods. This unique and popular choice among gardeners is known for its sweet and tender flavor, which can be enjoyed raw or cooked. The plant grows as a vine, reaching up to 6 feet tall, and thrives in cool-season conditions, with optimal growth occurring when temperatures range between 55-75°F.

To successfully grow Sugar Magnolia Snap Peas, it is essential to select a well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5, and a location that receives full sun, although they can tolerate partial shade. When planting, the seeds should be placed 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep, approximately 2 inches apart, in rows that are 2 to 3 feet apart, and watered immediately after planting.

As Sugar Magnolia Snap Peas are climbing plants, providing support, such as a trellis, poles, or netting, is crucial as the plants grow. Maintaining consistent soil moisture, with deep watering once a week and more frequent watering during hot, dry weather, is also essential for optimal growth and development.

The Sugar Magnolia Snap Peas are ready for harvesting 60 to 70 days after planting, with the ideal time being when the pods are plump and full, but before the peas inside become too large. This relatively easy-to-grow crop can be cultivated in containers or directly in the ground, making it a versatile and rewarding choice for gardeners.
