The first-ever container snap pea, Little SnapPea Crunch is a delightful addition to patio, porch, and deck. This self-supporting variety is heavy-bearing and holds well, even in warm weather. Rely on it to extend your vegetable garden beyond the confines of the sunny bed!
Little SnapPea Crunch is vigorous and sturdy, setting a big crop of plump, curved pale green pods, each bursting with tender peas. They crunch delightfully when broken open or bitten into, while the peas are sugary sweet and delectable!
And best of all, wherever you decide to grow this pea, you won't need any fences or strings, supports or trellises to help the plants hold up their bounty of delicious peas! It's so easy to pop Little SnapPea Crunch among the flowering annuals in the sunny bed, or add a few nice planters to the display on the back deck. Vegetable gardening has never been this fun . . . or portable!
Expect Little SnapPea Crunch to reach 28 to 32 inches high if planted in the garden, and somewhat smaller in containers. Don't worry if the cool spring weather gives way too soon to summer heat -- this snap pea is prepared to hold well on the vine!
Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Direct-sow 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1½ inches deep; thin to 6 inches apart in the garden. Peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer. To conserve space and simplify harvesting, sow in double rows with a trellis between rows. Each ounce of seed will sow 5 to 6 feet of row.
These shrubby or vining plants bear white flowers that are followed by pods containing the edible, smooth or wrinkled Peas. Harvest them in the early morning when the pods are fully swollen. They should be filled out, but not bulging, and the seeds should not be hard. Snow Peas and Sugar Peas are grown for their edible, soft pods. Harvest them when young, succulent, and still flat. Pick all types regularly to keep the plants producing pods

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
