Sugar Daddy Snap Pea 50+ Seeds – Productive Stringless Edible Pod Peas – Sweet Crisp Snap Peas

Grow crisp, sweet garden peas with Sugar Daddy Snap Pea Seeds, a popular snap pea variety prized for its tender, flavorful edible pods and nearly stringless texture.

Sugar Daddy produces plump, deep green pods on compact, productive vines. The entire pod can be eaten, making these peas excellent for fresh snacking, salads, stir-fries, steaming, sautéing, and other garden-to-table dishes.

With relatively compact vines compared with many taller pea varieties, Sugar Daddy is a great choice for raised beds, traditional vegetable gardens, and smaller growing spaces. This cool-season crop performs best in the mild temperatures of spring and fall.

Growing Info

• Direct Sow: Plant outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Sugar Daddy peas prefer cool growing conditions. A second planting can be made in late summer for a fall crop where the season permits.
• Sowing Depth: Plant seeds approximately 1–1½ inches deep.
• Spacing: Sow approximately 2 inches apart, with around 18–24 inches between rows.
• Sunlight: Choose a location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Plant in loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Adding finished compost before planting can improve soil structure.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially while plants are flowering and developing pods.
• Support: Although Sugar Daddy remains relatively compact, a short trellis, pea fence, netting, or stakes can help support the plants and make harvesting easier.
• Harvest: Pick pods regularly when they are bright green, crisp and plump but still tender. Frequent harvesting encourages continued production.
