Pea ‘Sugar Snap’ – Irish Seed

This was the favourite pea from my little 2024 sugar snap trial. It had been saved by a friend of mine for a number of years who got it from the Seed Co Op in the UK. It is very vigorous and crops over a long period. Peas are deep green, very sweet, totally stringless and have great flavour. The fact that it was listed under the name ‘Sugar Snap’ implies that this variety has a lineage back to the first sugar snap variety which was created and released in 1979 by plant breeder Calvin Lamborn.

Average 50 seeds per packet.
