The Pea Snow Oregon Sugar Pod ll, 'Pisum sativum', is a flat podded type pea that has great disease resistance and is tasty and stringless.

The short 28 inch plants are easy to manage and they are excellent for the freezer. Plant in the early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In mild climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Peas prefer well drained soil. Keep the plants moist but do get them over watered and soggy. Snow peas should be harvested before the seeds start to form. Peas that are too mature will cause the plant to stop producing. ... more info
