These golden yellow color snow peas make a unique addition to the garden. They look so pretty on a crudité platter or stir fried with other veggies. I like to add them raw to salads. They are best harvested just as the peas inside the pod start to swell at around 3 inches in length. The flavor is sweet. I snack on these as I work around the garden. Harvest regularly which will keep the vines producing over a longer period of time. Needs trellising/poles to grow on.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full sun. In hot climates, plant in a spot that gets full morning sun with afternoon shade.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist

Fertilizer: Do not fertilize nitrogen affixers like pea crops. An initial application or amendment of an organic granular fertilizer, like Espoma Garden-Tone helps boost seedling growth, but then do not fertilize again.

When & How To Sow Seeds: 

Temperate climates (areas that get snow & hard freezes) - direct sow snow pea seeds when you pass your last spring frost date OR direct sow when you start planting your fall garden.

Hot climates (no snow areas) - I only recommend growing in fall. Direct sow snow pea seeds when your average high temperature has dropped to 85°F or below. The easiest way to find this for your location is to visit plantmaps.com, enter your zip code, & scroll down to the temperature chart. Look for the first month in fall where the average high dips to 85°F or below — that's your planting window. Peas planted when it is still too hot will be stunted in growth.

Germination: 7-14 days

Days To Maturity: 60-70 days after direct sowing the seed

How & When To Harvest: To harvest, pinch the pods off the vine while they are still flat and before the seeds swell inside.

Common Diseases: The most common plant diseases when growing snow peas are powdery mildew and root rot. Powdery mildew appears as a white, powdery coating on leaves and thrives in humid conditions with poor air circulation. Treat it by pruning affected areas, improving airflow, and spraying with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. Root rot, often caused by overly wet or poorly drained soil, leads to yellowing leaves and stunted growth—prevent it by planting in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. Practicing crop rotation and avoiding overhead watering can also help reduce the risk of disease.

Common Pests: Common pests that affect snow peas include aphids, thrips, and pea weevils. Aphids cluster on tender stems and leaves, sucking sap and spreading disease—treat them with insecticidal soap or by blasting them off with water. Thrips can cause silver streaks and distorted leaves; control them with neem oil or sticky traps. Pea weevils chew notches in leaves and can damage developing pods—hand-pick adults if visible and use row covers to prevent infestation. Regular monitoring and early intervention help keep pest damage under control.
