Seeds Pea, Sugar Ann Snap

Pea, Sugar Ann Snap (Pisum sativum)

Sugar Ann is an early, compact snap pea variety that's perfect for small gardens, containers, and anyone eager for the first crunchy harvests of spring. This award-winning cultivar produces sweet, juicy, edible pods on dwarf vines that don't require trellising-making it one of the easiest and most rewarding peas to grow. Bred for early maturity and high yield, Sugar Ann is ideal for succession planting, edible borders, and quick-growing companion rows in permaculture gardens.

Key Characteristics:

• Early-maturing and highly productive
  One of the earliest snap peas available, Sugar Ann is ready to harvest in just 50-55 days. Its fast growth makes it a great choice for early spring planting and for tucking into open spots between longer-season crops.

• Sweet, stringless snap peas
  The crisp, tender pods are sweet and flavorful-perfect for eating straight off the vine, tossing into stir-fries, or adding to salads. No shelling needed, and no strings to remove.

• Dwarf, self-supporting vines
  Growing just 2 feet tall, Sugar Ann forms compact, bushy plants that don't need trellising. Great for raised beds, patio containers, small gardens, or intensive interplanting in early-season rows.

• Cool-season nitrogen fixer
  Like all peas, Sugar Ann forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in its roots, enriching the soil and supporting the health of future plantings-an important role in regenerative and permaculture systems.

• Excellent for edible borders and permaculture polycultures
  Fast-growing and non-invasive, Sugar Ann is ideal for zone 1 plantings, mixed veggie beds, or underplanting with taller crops. Its early harvest window makes it a strategic crop for layered, diverse growing systems.
