Description

Mammoth Melting Snow Pea is a vigorous, open-pollinated heirloom known for its tall vines, heavy yields, and exceptionally tender pods. This classic snow pea produces large, flat, bright green pods that are stringless, crisp, and mild with a delicate sweetness.

Perfect for stir-fries, steaming, or fresh snacking, Mammoth Melting offers a melt-in-your-mouth texture that lives up to its name. Its climbing habit makes it ideal for trellises or fences, where it can reach impressive heights while producing an abundant harvest over a long season.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual
• Direct sow: Early spring or late summer for fall harvest
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 2–3 inches
• Height: 60–72 inches (tall climbing vines)
• Days to harvest: 65–75 days

Peas prefer cool weather and should be sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Provide sturdy support such as a trellis or netting for optimal growth and easier harvesting. Grow in well-drained soil and keep evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest pods young and flat for the most tender texture and best flavor, and pick frequently to encourage continued production.
