Sugar Ann Snap Pea 25+Seeds – Compact Early Dwarf Sugar Snap Peas – Sweet Edible Pods

Grow crisp, sweet snap peas early in the season with Sugar Ann Snap Pea Seeds. This popular compact variety produces plump, tender green pods with a deliciously sweet flavor, and the entire pod can be eaten fresh from the garden.

Sugar Ann is especially valued for its early maturity and compact growth habit, making it an excellent choice for raised beds, smaller vegetable gardens, and containers. The short vines produce an abundant crop of crisp snap peas without requiring the tall structures used for many traditional pea varieties.

Enjoy Sugar Ann peas straight from the vine, tossed into salads, served with dips, lightly sautéed, steamed, or added to stir-fries and other fresh garden dishes.

Growing Info

• When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Sugar Ann prefers cool growing conditions. A late-summer sowing can also provide a fall harvest where temperatures allow.
• Planting Depth: Sow approximately 1 inch deep.
• Seed Spacing: Plant seeds approximately 1–2 inches apart.
• Row Spacing: Allow approximately 18–24 inches between rows.
• Sunlight: Choose a location receiving 6+ hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, loose, well-draining garden soil. Incorporating finished compost before planting can help improve soil structure.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and pod production.
• Support: Sugar Ann remains relatively compact, but a short trellis, pea fence, or netting can keep plants upright and make harvesting easier.
• Harvesting: Harvest pods frequently when they are bright green, crisp and plump but still tender. Regular picking encourages continued production.
