AAS winner 1984.

Sugar Ann Snap Pea is a popular, open-pollinated variety prized for its early harvest, compact growth, and exceptionally sweet flavor. This dwarf snap pea produces crisp, tender pods that are delicious eaten fresh, right off the vine, or added to salads and stir-fries.

Perfect for small gardens and containers, Sugar Ann grows on short vines that typically do not require support, yet still yield generously. Its early maturity and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for cool-season planting.

• 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: 18–24 inches (dwarf bush)
• Days to harvest: 50–55 days

Peas prefer cool weather and should be planted as soon as soil can be worked. Grow in well-drained soil and keep evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod development. While support is not required, a short trellis can help keep plants tidy and improve airflow. Harvest frequently to encourage continued production.
